I've been doing both . 1st coat of epoxy no hardware
2nd coat after all is rigged. seems to be working out well .
plugs are more durable than just one coat ,and seals up lips and wrap .

I glue the lip in after the plug is finished, primarily because the rods I spin the plug on won't go through a lip slot.

That's my problem too, so I started just doing one plug at a time after a few disasters with the plugs detatching from the rod. Takes much longer doing one at a time, but they're coming out much better. There's got to be a more productive way so hopefully I'll figure it out before next winter... |

Go to the hardware store and buy some "piano wire" from the metal rack (or 1/8" brass rod if you drilled 5/32). Get a size that is less than your thru drilled hole. It is very stiff and you can spin 3-4 plugs on a 36" section. Find a way to attach it to your spinner and support it with a rod support or two. Put some small bends in it to keep tension on the plug so they don't spin on the rod. Do the card trick for the lip slots. If you had a way to attach several rods together you could spin a line of plugs. |

I started spinning plugs inline in a rod box ... My problem was maintaining a consistant speed because of belly weights in the plugs .. You could run your hand over the finished plug and feel the epoxy sag .. |
