Sealer, you dip, wide, hang.
Prime, you spray and hang.
Top coat, you spray6 and hang.
Epoxy, you apply epoxy and clamp the wire in your vise with the plug on end facing up. Leave it there until you have the next plug done and need the vise. Hang the first plug and clamp the second.
After epoxy dries pull the wire inprep for adding hardware.

You only need to flip once with 2-Ton!

yep, that's kinda what I do
My wires have all different colors on them from using them over and over.

The screw hooks work well for me as they hold nice and tight when spinning and you don't need to touch the plug, which does away with the need for a scratch coat. I hang the belly hole on plastic straw covered nails after sealing to dry,then add the screws to hold before painting, clear coating and spinning.

The only thing is, there is an extra step of needing to apply some epoxy with a pipe cleaner to seal inside the 1/2 inch on both ends after you take the screws out before wiring.
