Some time ago there was thread about plugs for leather covered pads. I got to thinking someone must make a plug that can be used and adapted for this purpose without having to make them each time. I was right. There is a company in MO that makes tapered plugs for industrial use. They come in two different material compounds. The samples I requested have arrived. They are in different sizes and are tapered. I recieved five different sizes ranging from .750-.563 to .375-.250. Contact cement adhears to them. I believe there is a minimum order for these plugs. Might be a good item to pool resources with another gunsmith and purchase for future use. I don't know if the item will become available from the two major gunsmith supply sources but I am and have shared my information with them. If Dave gives the OK, I will give the company name and contact information here on the board.
