Application Tips

Plug Positioning
Most often a tapered plug is used to plug blind holes that do not go all the way through a part. Ideally, the plug should rest on the edge of the hole 1/3 to 1/2 way from the bottom before insertion, for easiest removal.
Sizing Guide
Bottom diameter should be 15% smaller than hole diameter. Top diameter should be 15% larger than hole diameter.
