Your not doing it right than Brad . Any small plug used will soon be covered and encrusted. Basically just cut the tip off and mount the plug with epoxy and glue. I mean if your acro is encrusting smaller than the size of a frag plug you got a problem. Of course it does take some patience. Also IMO fresh cuts are more likely to go poof. Fresh cuts from a local with a trusted acro isnt bad though.

No, I can still see the plug under the base. Some people even epoxy the concrete chunks that maricultured colonies ship with Usually, once I cut the frag off, I then have a new piece left on the plug that goes into the frag tank. Fresh cut iece then gets epoxied into the structure with a tapered bit of epoxy and ends up looking natural.
