Freeportfrank. Wallyworld is my favorite place to get Devcon. Make sure that you get 2 Ton, not 5 Minute epoxy. If you see it at Wallyworld, but a few tubes as they run out fairly quick. I don't know why they don't just put out 20 tubes at a time?

Mix epoxy well and you have about 15 minutes working time to apply the epoxy. I usually mix enough to do 4 plugs at a time. Cheap acid brushes work, but the bristles come out once in awhile so I use the other end to pick out the hair so the hair goes into the handle. Its pretty thick so once you put it on, you may only have to only turn it once - 5 minutes after you hang it. After that, its pretty much set and won't sag. You can also thin it with Denatured alchohol, but only use a few drops. It increases the cure time a lot though so if you thin it, you'll have to flip the plug end for end a few times -watch the sagging.
