Any suggestions would help from you experienced plug builders.
Thanks Al,

I never tried that but I suppose it would work. If you find trouble around the belly weight area afterwards from water intrusion, then you'll know how it works out.

epoxy the lead in well though, you don't want any flying bullets coming off the lathe
