Wire Tie Tire Change Method
#3
The last shop, that was hesitant about the size of the plug, saw the inside of the plug after I trimmed the excess and the outside was excess strings/glue after ~80-miles of running.  It would have appeared to be large, but it was just a finishing nail hole at 45 degrees that had been reamed/cleaned with a typical tire plug tool (Slime, Rockey Designs, etc).  Having had the experience of plugs pulling thru if trimmed too close, I usually leave excess and allow wear to do the trimming.

As for the idea of just using the strings without glue, that hasn't worked for me.
I knocked, but the door was open.......
