I have a few exposed pocket holes on some red oak 3/4 inch ply I had planned on hiding with some oak pocket hole plugs. I'm using the Kreg Master jig and the Kreg plugs.
I can't get them into the hole and I don't see any easy way to hammer them in without breaking off the thin tip.
What is the secret here?
Is there any kind of lubricant, wax, or something I might use?
It is mighty frustrating.

On the bottom of the Mini Kreg Jig is a cutout that fits the thin tip of the plug. It's there to hammer the plug in without breaking the tip off. You can pick one up for about $10.00. Check out the Kreg website.
I agree with Don those plugs are just a 3/8 dowel, just glue and put the dowel into the hole, after glue dries cut it off. All dowels are not the same diameter check first
I agree that a bit of sanding will do the trick. I have also just tapped them in with a hammer too.
