You definitely don’t want to make a plug until you are fully content with the
position of the mast. As others have correctly stated, the plug eliminates the
ability to alter the rake as the mast goes through the partners. If this is an
issue, do not use Spartite. I have a 62-foot telephone pole for a mast and
found a position with which I’m happy. I don’t tweak the amount of rake.

This is a great discussion thread. I have had the box of spartite in the trunk
of my car for two years but have been to hesitant to use it. My main concern
is that I have not been satisfied that I have ever had the best mast alignment
in the collar. If someone could provide info on this this for me for a c&C 35
mk1 (racing trim). It would be much appreciated.
Much appreciated.

What about wrapping something like paper (grocery store bag thickness) around
the mast before using the Spartite? Something like mast, lube paper,
Spartite, boat??

Yes. The line I use to pull the stick is substantial, but it stretches a bit.
The first time I pulled the mast after installing Spartite, the line stretched
before the plug “let go.” The mast jumped about a foot, like a big-ass pogo
stick. Very unnerving.
As I noted earlier, the bigger problem for me has been getting the stick
re-aligned so the plug fits correctly when putting the mast back on. This may
take some fine adjustments, which takes time, and your help may lose patience –
especially if you’re splitting the crane time. In my view, this is the biggest
downside of Spartite.

Anyone have any problem with the Spartite stick against the mast collar when
hauling the mast out?
