My latest rehab project I just completed. Unique 12" x 20" factory bass drum set that I believe was called the Orbit outfit. This one has factory Bread and Butter lugs on the bass drum(same size as toms lugs) and all the toms, which i epoxy and mesh reinforced. Also had some extra collet mount holes that I made some brushed aluminum plates to cover them and mounted them with two sided tape. Outfit is a 12" x 20" factory bass drum, along with a 12" mounted and 14" x 14" floor tom. This turned out very nice and sounds awesome.

Great job! The custom made plates on the bass drum are a cool idea. A really beautiful kit!

Thanks no photos but what I did was took sheet rock adhesive fiberglass mesh tape and cut a piece about a 1/2" wide and inserted one each way in the form of a cross on each end of the lug. Then used a one minute self mixing epoxy syringe style and spread the epoxy on the mesh so it covered and flowed around the tabs and lugs itself. I then used a soldering iron to melt the mesh/epoxy out of the screw holes and lug insert hole when it dried. Seems to work out pretty well and much easier than the putty method. My lugs were really not cracked that bad though.

Thank you for the lug repair info! Always wonder how a mesh/epoxy would work. Sounds like it did just fine. Clapping Happy2
