I paint, glue in the lip slot, wire and then finish with epoxy. I get some sporadic build up of epoxy around the lip at times, but not much. Also the lip also gives me a place to hold the plug when putting the epoxy on. I'm certainly not an expert in plug building, nor do I sell them so the final appearance isn't overly important to me.

	It all started last year during a terrible thunderstorm, when I locked myself out of the house. Shelving myself with a large piece of sheet metal, I ran for cover under the tallest tree I could find!
