Broken Seal ... ????
Sorry .. not dead seal thread ..
I see temporary big screw eyes threaded into ends of plugs to (hang)aid in construction /painting.. I imagine they are easier to handle .. I see this done by pro commercial builders and hobbiest .. My question is .. How do you do this without messing up sealer ?? Dose threading a screw eye in break the seal ? Would you do the same with hardwood ? .. really don't know .

I use coat hangers. I am cheap. I would think you have a legit point.

Eddy baby, I think it just depresses the wood as the screw eyes go in. Don't think it's anything to worry about. You just get it in enough to hold tightly. (kinda like sex  ) |
Why even try.........

I've been cutting the tig rods in half when wiring and there's always about 5" extra. I bend those left over 5" pieces so it looks like a long U, hang the U on a screwdriver and give it a squeeze with some pliers right next to the screwdriver. Ends up looking like a nose loop with 2 sides each 2" long. Pull the 2 sides apart a little and you can insert this into either the nose or tail of the plug, then you can hang em by the nose loop on screw hooks or nails just banged into your basement ceiling rafters..

Put the screw eye in, take it out, then seal. That way any thread impact will be made and sealed. Put it back in when you need it. |
Thanks for taking me fishing Grandpa!
