I counter-sink the belly hole before cutting the square ends off. I use .273 belly grommets and they fit snug in a 9/32 hole-- e-tex in the countersink holds the grommet just fine.

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 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.........
