I've always done the flip and hang method of epoxy, and have zero issues with it.

I fully wire and rig my plugs before epoxy, the tail and nose loops are there for me to hang my plugs from.

This is what has worked for me.

I leave the small electric heater under the plugs so they cure a little quicker and require less flipping.

One issue is when the plug needs to be rewired, you have to break the epoxy on the tail wrap which will usually mess the paint up. But if the plugs is that beat from fish or rocks it probably gets retired instead of rebuilt.

I put straws over the swivels, keeps the epoxy off em, important part is to remove the straws before the epoxy cures
