Questions & Answers about Teak Wood Bungs / Plugs:
2012-08-28MARTA SULLIVAN asked: How deep are these plugs?
+Expand Answers
2012-08-29CHARLES BLAND: The plugs I bought are 1/2" in diameter, and 1/2" deep.
2012-08-29SEVILLE SIMONDS: Marta,
They are generally 1/2 - 3/4 inch in length, depending on the plug diameter. If you want a perfect match with the wood you are using an option would be to buy a plug cutter and cut your own plugs from scraps of the wood you used for the project.
2012-07-12A shopper asked: What is the thickness of these bungs?
+Expand Answers
2012-07-12GEORGE BARRINGER: If you mean length - about 1/2. Or 5/8 inch as I remember
2012-07-13JOHN LEMON: The 7/16" bungs are 1/2" thick. They are cut across the grain (not end grain like dowels) so you can match the grain of the hole you are plugging.
2012-06-03JACK TWINAM asked: how long are the 3/8 dia plugs ?
+Expand Answers
2012-06-05JAMES JURICH: The plugs will vary in length. They will generally be no less than 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length.
I attempt to match the grain and set the plug either by tapping it into place or applying Titebond sparingly, as you might need to remove the plug later, generally by drilling.
I cut the plug flush using a 6 1/2 inch pullsaw.
Good luck
Jim
2012-06-05ALAN SUGARMAN: I do not know but why worry.
If they are too short, then use one plug on top of another and fill up with expoxy.
If they are too long, then either use a flexible Japanese saw to cut them down, use a chisel, or sand.
They should be longer than the depth of the hole,
2012-02-06A shopper asked: looking for mahagony 3/8 " wood plug. Any ideas?
2011-12-12BOB G asked: Can you tell me which teak wood plugs I need for a standard 3/8 hole. All tapered wood plugs I use for other wood working projects are called 3/8 wood plugs?
thx,
Bob

2011-12-12STANLEY SIMON: I looked up the invoice of my July 2008 order for 3/8 bungs and it listed the product I purchased as
"BUNG38T
TEAK BUNG 3/8 IN."
I hope that information helps
2011-12-12JAMES KIMBREL: Bob,
You need whichever plug fits the hole. Generally, if you buy 3/8 inch plugs they will fit a 3/8 inch hole.
Keep in mind that you want a plug that has to be force fit into the hole, thereby providing a good seal with glue.
James
2011-12-12JOHN SPEARS: The plugs should be the same size as the hole, so 3/8" in this case.
2011-12-12WILLIAM MOONEY: that's what I used - and they worked out perfectly
2011-10-14BRIAN ALEX asked: Thank you again, What glue should I use - If any?
+Expand Answers
2011-10-14JOSEPH SONNABEND: I used a System Three two part structural glue. Come is two small bottles. Probably overkill but I know it is waterproof
2011-10-14Jim Bridgens: I've seen epoxy mixed with teak dust (for color matching) used.
2011-10-14ROBIN PARKINSON: Rebecca Wittman, "The Brightwork Companion", 2004, International Marine, says you shouldn't use glue, the bong expands and holds itself quite well.
2011-10-15JAMES MURDOCK: I use West Systems 105 with either the 205 fast or 206 slow curing agent, dependent on size or time of job.
2011-10-15KASPAR SCHIBLI: We use Elmers wood glue for interior work and epoxy glues for exterior marine work.
2011-10-14BRIAN ALEX asked: Thank you all. The drill size for the bung hole is 1/2"?
2011-10-14BRIAN ALEX asked: Are the bungs tapered?
+Expand Answers
2011-10-14MICHAEL TETELBAUM: Yes, bungs are tapered
2011-10-14STANLEY SIMON: If they are, it's hard to detect visually, and I don't have the tools to make a precise measurement.
2011-10-14WILLIAM MOONEY: Yes, the bungs are tapered.
2011-10-14WOLF EVERT: yes they are
2011-10-14JOHN SPEARS: I can ftnd very little, if any, taper on any of the plugs I have bought or cut myself. What little is there is likely due to hand drilling or an inaccurate cutter. However, many plugs are chamfered on one end so that they enter the hole cleanly.
2011-10-14DAVID TURLEY: I bought 5/16 teak plugs.... They were NOT tapered...
2011-10-14WILLIAM CADDEN: To answer the question, All of the ones I used as well as the remaining ones are straight cut with no taper.
2011-10-17PAUL GWOZDZ: Brian,
I haven't seen the boat in two years but asked my co-owner. Here is his response. Also, I purchased these about 3 years ago and can't promise that the manufacturer is still producing the same bungs.

Paul,
I am not sure. I do not think so.
I am at Starry Night this morning and will check. The extra bungs are here and I have a dial gauge at the boat.
The 1/2" bungs have a slight chamfer on one end but have little if any taper.
The 7/16" have the same chamfer and seem to be slightly tapered.

Have used hundreds of these in refastening of teak decks. Other products were difficult to lop and way more expensive. These have been consistent in color and form, all nicely chamfered. Also a bonus that they are a fraction of the cost compared to those from national chain.

The plugs are being used for interior trim in shallow holes. Part of the plugs were sharply tapered and unusable. Also had 98 in a bag of 100. Expected better quality control.

I use it to cover reinforcing screws in teak decking/grates for boats (large sail boats). It is as advertised...fits beautifully into a 3/8 hole and the grain is close enough to a match.
Good Stuff!
