spinnage

I made something that could be mistaken for a needle. Problem is that it spins on the thru wire. What's the best way to keep it straight? I was thinking of stuffing it w/ wood putty but I don't think that would hold it down. Cheers.

I take it that the wire twists inside the blank because the wrap in the back is not tight or secure enough to keep it from spinning? I don't think that is any problem other than if you are concerned with which direction a single Siwash hook is pointed in the rear.

Some of my plugs do the same thing

Another way to stop this is to run 2-part epoxy over the through wire before you run it through. When it comes out the tail, wipe off the epoxy immediately and then loop your wire ties. When the epoxy sets it will prevent the spin.
