What are the advantages of coating the eyes?

I set the eyes into the e-tex after it was drying for two hr's, is this ok? I though it would make the stick better?

What are the advantages of e-texing after the plug is rigged?
Do you coat the grommets or go around them?
Some plugs the hook swing goes over the eye if its epoxyed over the hook is much less likely to hook itself on the eye or the socket.

Like you I stick sometimes place the eye in a tacky epoxy. I do this for a cleaner look. Mikecc is carrying eyes w/out adhesive on them they work well for this application.

As to your last ? I think its up to the individual and what type of rotiserator you have. I dont like it for 2 reasons one if you want to modify the plug it makes it tuff to dissasemble and second is purely caddy - astetics. Clean sexy lines is where its at.

BTW nice job look fwd to seeing your work!
