The pre-formed putty frag holes blew my mind, this opens up a whole new world.. Does everyone know about this!?
I wasn’t even sure if I’d be able to do it. But after pressing a ball of the mortar where I wanted it -to fill a rather large hole- I was like “I wonder….” And the plug came out easily leaving behind the hole..


I may try to make a “flowerpot” for one of my gonis tonight…..

So this morning, I tried to take the same frag plug just a clean one and stick it in those preformed holes. FYI they’re shrinkage so if anyone else tries to do that, make sure you kind of wiggle plug around and make a whole little bit bigger so that way they get straight I’m thinking I can take Drill and just hand drill out that little bit so that way all the frag plugs will fit there anyway don’t forget about the shrinkage

I use wooden dowels slightly oversized. Give it a couple of decent wiggles and twists.
