The DeckWise Master Plug Kit for Massaranduba is an all-in-one hidden fastening solution designed to hide face-screwed fasteners in dense tropical hardwood.

By combining species-matched wood plugs with high-performance stainless steel screws, it ensures a structural and visually seamless finish.

Includes 350 genuine Massaranduba wood plugs for a precise color and grain match.
Comes with 305-grade stainless steel screws for excellent corrosion resistance in outdoor environments.
Complete system featuring a specialized Smart-Bit pre-drilling tool and depth setter for consistent results.

Best used for

  • 1Face-fastening the first and last boards of a Massaranduba deck where hidden clips are not compatible with the rim joist.
  • 2Installing Massaranduba stair treads to provide a smooth, safe surface without visible screw heads.
  • 3Securing vertical Massaranduba elements such as handrail caps, posts, or architectural cladding for a high-end architectural finish.
  • 4Refurbishing existing Massaranduba decks where previous face-screws have backed out or require replacement with a hidden solution.

Pro tips for dense hardwoods

  • Always align the wood grain of the plug with the grain of the decking board before tapping it in to make the fastener virtually invisible once sanded.
  • Apply a single drop of the included glue to the side of the plug rather than the bottom of the hole to prevent hydraulic pressure from stopping the plug from seating fully.
  • When working with dense Massaranduba, ensure the pre-drill bit is cleared of wood shavings frequently to prevent heat buildup and bit breakage.

How to Plug a Hardwood Deck

1

Countersink the Screw

Use a 3/8β€³ countersink bit to create a flat-bottomed hole roughly 1/4β€³ deep. The screw sits at the bottom; the plug fills the remaining space.

2

Apply Exterior Adhesive

Put a small bead of waterproof polyurethane glue (included in kits) into the hole. Too much glue squeezes out and creates a mess; too little and the plug loosens over time.

3

Seat the Plug

Tap the plug in with a rubber mallet or wood block until it seats against the glue. Ribbed plugs self-center and grip irregular holes; smooth plugs work best in precision-drilled holes.

4

Flush-Cut After Curing

Wait 24 hours for the adhesive to cure fully, then trim the plug flush with a sharp chisel or oscillating multi-tool. Sand lightly and apply finish.

Pro Tip from Our Deck Specialists

Order plugs cut from the same species AND the same board lot as your decking for the closest color and grain match. Plugs from a different harvest can look noticeably different.
