Thanks! the grey stuff does that set hard, what i mean is will it hold under pressure? Thanks for the info!!!!

Have you got the correct core plug?

If it's a shallow dish type it needs hammering in it's center to expand the dish once it's fitted in the core.

If it's the cup type, it should be a tight interferance fit.

Whichever type it is, it shoudn't be able to pop out if fitted correctly. If it's the wrong core plug or not fitted correctly, then no type of sealer will hold it in.
