J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Teak Handrails

I witnessed a neat trick to removing the plugs in the handrails. Drill a small diameter hole into the plug down to the bolt or nut. Turn in a small diameter screw until the screw bottoms out against the nut/bolt. Now, as you turn the screw more, the teak plug will begin to pull out. Clever.
