    I agree. I sand down the neck plugs on all of my resin heads.
    I have also enlarged the neck hole on the body. The CTVT neck holes are a little bit smaller than Megos.

      Someone showed me a trick at Mego Meet of taking a pair of large pliers and spinning the neck plug around a few times inside of it until it fits into the body.

      Saved m HOURS of sanding and filing that I had been doing previously to make them fit.

      I learned the hard way that you want to do this before you paint it, otherwise you have to do touch ups and it never looks as good as the first time.

        ^^^ I'd use a Padded Towel or something over the metal too...., You could damage the head.
