a few more, thanks Larry
After picking Larrys brain a bit at the plugfest, and then again through pms'  , i came up with these. i don't have a bigfish plug to compare them too(hint, hint  ), so i did the next best thing, and went off a RM Smith plug that i actually bought here. A big thank you goes out to all you guys that have helped me so much....
bear with me i just had a tooth pulled  , i promise no more pictures.  |

You are off to a great start G2H. The plugs look great.
BTW it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I wish you the very best of luck in your plug building endeavor.

i couldn't believe
how long it took me just to get to plugfest
i didn't factor in the distance i now live away from
highway 495 Not to mention i got lost for 45 minutes
 and missed a turn... so i missed Most of Bigfish's
tutorial.. sadly.. but hey i digress, and your plugs
look JUST great ! Your most definitely on your way!
I can't wait to see one in the mouth of a striper.  |

Notice that your using an insert for your lipslot. Wondering what kind of material you use to protect the lipslot during epoxying.

those are home depot gifts cards, there's no value on them and fit perfect, i get them all the time. we have cases and cases of them. the only thing is those plugs above were pretty much ruined when i applied the devcon, i left the the gifts cards in the slots, what a pain in the arse to take them out.  it chipped all the paint near the lip slot, because i had to take them out with a dremel  ... lesson learned. like tagger said just make sure you pull them before the epoxy sets up.  |
