With it upside down you can line it with plastic to make a mold of the void shape using whatever means you like ( paper mache, foam, plaster, etc.) After you remove the casting, carve the shape out of like wood. Dampen inside of tiki and the new plug, coat well with urathane glue and insert plug. Tape, band, or wire whatever means to be able to clamp it, when dry you should be good to go. Like what MadDogMike said...I was typing and did not see his post...that's the way to go...Good Luck !! [ Edited by: hottiki 2011-09-16 12:10 ]
