About this product
The ThermoPlug™ Smooth Ash kit is a professional-grade fastener concealment solution consisting of 1,050 thermally modified ash wood plugs. These tapered plugs are designed to fill countersunk screw holes in decking and siding, providing a flush, clean finish that protects fasteners from the elements. It is specifically engineered for contractors and homeowners who require the enhanced stability and rot resistance provided by the thermal modification process.

Pro tips for dense hardwoods
- Always align the wood grain of the plug with the grain of the deck board before tapping it in to ensure the most discreet visual result.
- Use a high-quality exterior waterproof wood glue to secure the plugs; apply a small drop to the side of the plug rather than filling the hole to prevent hydraulic back-pressure.
- When working with dense hardwoods like Massaranduba or Ipe, use a flush-cut saw to remove the excess plug height before final sanding to avoid scorching the surrounding wood.

Why Choose Plugs & Plug Kits?
How to Plug a Hardwood Deck
Countersink the Screw
Use a 3/8″ countersink bit to create a flat-bottomed hole roughly 1/4″ deep. The screw sits at the bottom; the plug fills the remaining space.
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.
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.
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.
