Step 6Finishing Your Plug
To finish off the plug, I covered the tail with a two part epoxy putty. The epoxy putty is great - it forms easily, hardens quickly, can be sanded and drilled and is pretty mess free. I made the grip about flush with the base of the plug. Keep in mind that the base of the plug pretty much fits perfectly into the recessed cavity of the IPhone's headphone jack. If you have putty hanging over the base, it won't fit well and you'll have to sand it down.
I would test fit the plug so you can sand if necessary. I would put the plug in for the first time with the IPhone upside down. If you have too much putty, some crumbs might sheer off and you don't want those falling into the phone.
I was going to paint the plug but it fit so tight that a layer of paint wouldn't last long - instead I just used a black permanent marker to color the plug.
