Frequently Asked Questions Will these plugs fit a metric hole of 12.5 or 13 mm?The 1/2" size (12.70 mm) fits most 12.5–13 mm holes with a snug press fit. Test first, or sand lightly for a custom fit. Do the plugs sit flush or slightly raised when installed?Mushroom button plugs feature a slightly domed head that sits just above the wood surface for a traditional decorative finish. Is adhesive necessary for installation?Most applications require no glue, but use wood glue for added hold on slick, oversized, or high-traffic areas. Will oak end grain stain differently than the surrounding wood?Yes, end grain generally absorbs more stain for a natural accent; test finish on a spare plug for optimal color match. Are they suitable for outdoor projects?For best results outdoors, finish with exterior-rated sealer or paint and use waterproof glue for a lasting bond. What’s the standard tenon length?Typical tenon length on 1/2" button plugs is 1/4" (6.35 mm)—deep enough for secure seating without drilling deeper holes. Are bulk or custom quantities available?Yes, order in packs up to 5000 for large projects or inquire with the supplier for custom volume options.
