[QUOTE="AJ, post: 463203, member: 2363"] Brewdude's beeswax method works very well and I've used it and had good success. However for a more permanent solution I heat the tenon over a candle flame to soften it a bit and then I take a nail with the diameter being just a little larger than that of the draft hole and drive the nail about a quarter inch into the tenon. This will evenly increase the diameter of the first quarter inch of the tenon and make a nice snug fit that should last. If the fit is still a little loose repeat the process with a larger nail. Either method will do the trick. :) AJ [/QUOTE]
