If you don't put something in the hole, paint will get into the hole and you'll have to drill the hole to remove the paint. I use dowel rods (Wal-mart, cheap!!) just get the right size for your weedguards. FG30 is 1/2 inch. Cut the dowel into small pieces (you can use any kind of snips) and put into the pinhole. Just twist out after painting and then you can bake.

For gluing I use Goop. Had too much trouble with the Devcon "setting up" before I used all of it. I threw away the little "funnel' on the top of the Goop tube and just dip the end of the fiberguard in the top of the tube. If you get too much in the hole, not a big problem as it is clear. Too much Goop will leave a small "ring" around the outside base of the weedguard, but doesn't wick up the fibers like super glue. And the smell in not bad! I let the jigs sit overnight.....I've never had a weedguard pull out of a bait with Goop.
