3. Metal lips...do you epoxy them in, or does the through wire hold them in place? I have a couple metal lips built by so called "pros" that swim around in the lip slot.

Thanks,

1. I use jewelers pliers that i purchased at sears hardware locally for around 8 dollars.

2. I use a 5/32 inch bit that i purchased from shars.com works well for me.

3. I paint my plugs then wire them and then i epoxy everything as the final stage i think this helps keep the lips in place. I have seen others epoxy and then wire them. Try both ways and see which way you like.

Good Luck
