I've used a load of wooden plugs over the years an everyone that didn't have a belly grommet or one that wasn't epoxied in looks like someone took a saw to the wood around the belly hole. for what it cost in time an effort an price of grommet it's cheap insurance. The plug holds up better an longer. Plus the broken wood lets water soak into the plug and get under the sealer you soak with. Eventually the paint job will fail too. Just my 2 cents. Ron
