Great thread, It's been something I have been rethinking. I am wiring before because that's how I did it when I hung.
I also felt it helped seal the plugs body with the drill holes getting some epoxy. But I also am not happy with how the plugs finish and I am doubting that the sealing the wire holes is doing anything different. I'm wondering if the extra handling when wiring besides removing paint leaves body oils on the paint so it may effect the epoxy adhesion.
So now I have two questions,

1. If you don't wire before you put your plugs on the wheel how do you keep them steady as they turn.

2. If you force you grommets in the hook holes after sealing. isn't there a chance to damage the wood under the epoxy, allowing water an avenue to get under your paint. Wouldn't it be better to do a midway approach. Add the grommets seal then wire and add lip.
Oh and no cracks about dipping in watersealer before. I have my opinion and others have theirs.


Its only art if it don't catch fish!
