Default Setting Bungs outside

Jonathan writes:

I am pushing to finish a project reseating and resealing the deck/hull
connecting machine screws on a 28' Sabre. I need to set new teak bungs
in the toerail where I removed them to access the screws.


Given the generally lower temperatures I am working in. (A *lot* pf rain
has delayed this project) I am not sure about setting them in epoxy.
the Sabre factory says they were originally set in Resorcinol.


I dip the bungs in spar varnish before inserting. Protects the endgrain
and seals the bung.

Remember, it isnt the glue keeping bungs in, it's the tight fit.
