    Just easier and quicker. He could have plugged it and drilled it again. Instead he just opened it up to fit a slug and drilled that as needed

As far as thumb plugs, I had it put in my Phaze and n matter how big I make the hole I seem to still stick in it. I have a 1/4 back pitch in it.
    You may need to fine sand the hole a little some proshops use a grit of sandpaper on the slugs that is enough to cause me sticking problems. Dry wall Sanding screen is the best solution I've ever found and I always keep a piece in my bag.

    GREAT IDEA!, I used to do car work and wet sanding may just be the key....

    thanks
