SMART-BIT PRO PLUG SYSTEM

FOR DECKS, FLOORING AND WOODWORKING

Never before have all the steps in plugging been put together in a single system that delivers a perfect result plug after plug. This is because Starborn Industries, Inc.'s Pro Plug components have all been specially designed and engineered to work together, perfectly. The beauty of the system is that it makes plugging so fast and easy that it now takes half as much time as before - sometimes even less. So if you've always valued the strength of top down fastening and the high-finish look of plugs but couldn't invest in the extra time and labor, put the Smart-Bit Pro Plug System to work for you, today.

The technique of using wood plugs to hide screw heads has been around for hundreds of years. There are two basic reasons for its continuing popularity. The first of which is practical — they cover and protect the heads of screws. The second reason is that they create a high finish aesthetic, which is indicative of serious craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The Pro Plug System for Wood consists of specially engineered components that make face fastening with plugs, in both outdoor decks and indoor flooring or woodworking applications, simple and fast. Drill, Screw, Glue, Plug in 20 seconds!
The System components are sold separately: the Pro Plug Tool for Wood (which contains the pre-drilling and counter-boring tool as well as two replacement drill bits) and Decking/Flooring Kits (which contain plugs, fasteners and the Glue Nozzle).
The Pro Plug Glue Nozzle attaches to standard wood glue bottles. The Nozzle applies glue to the sidewalls of the hole, where it is most effective and provides the greatest amount of holding power.
Plugs are available in many hardwood species – including Ipe.
Plugs for flooring applications including Maple, American Walnut and many other species.
 

A PLUGGING RESURGENCE

In recent years, two things have provoked a resurgence in the use of wood plugs and a need for a faster and better plugging system. First, in the case of hardwood decking, many professionals have been uneasy with hidden clip systems and similar methods, which they believe compromise performance for aesthetics. Second, the popularity of wide plank flooring and its tendency to cup in many species strongly suggests a need for face screwing and plugging.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

For the first time there is a specially engineered system for installing wood plugs in decks, flooring and woodworking applications. All of the system components have been carefully and precisely engineered to maximize performance and also provide the best aesthetic result of any plugging system to date. In timed trials, Pro Plug has been shown to cut installation time by as much as half.
