Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the screw heads are slightly recessed below the wood surface. Drill holes for the plugs using a drill bit that matches the plug size.
- Installation: Apply wood glue to the hole and insert the plug. Gently tap it in with a hammer until it is flush or slightly above the surface.
- Trimming: Once the glue is dry, use a flush-cut saw or chisel to trim the plug flush with the surface.
- Sanding: Sand the surface to ensure a smooth, even finish.
- Finishing: Apply stain, varnish, or other desired finishes to match the surrounding wood. Clean the plugs with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the plugs in a dry place to prevent warping or damage.
