I was just curious because I dip my plugs after they are sealed and dried in primer. I do this twice because I like the fact that the primer is in the through hole and belly holes. The epoxy or glue does not bond very well with a primed surface. I may try the countersunk belly grommet however. Thanks.

What primer? Epoxy should stick... well like glue to a primer surface.

Never had an issue with the epoxy not holding them in. I insert them after paint and before clear.

I press-fit them.

I have a shaping tool that Numbskull made for me. Put the grommet in the appropriate size hole, press and roll and voila, shaped to the round of the body and a tight fit.

Why even try.........

that's what Stan Kuzia was telling me about 2 plugfests ago. I haven't made one yet but if I use grommets, that's how I'd like to do them.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
