Re: water+wood plugs?
I would take them out, because they can indeed absorb water.

yes indeed, take them out, the get bigger because they absorb water, so you have the change to tear your ear or you can't get them out anymore (:

Re: water+wood plugs?
Water will raise the grain and make them rough. Could make them mildewy too I spose. Keep dry!
Oil fairly regularly to stop them drying out.
And you can refinish them with fine grit paper, and beeswax if you have to. Shouldn't need to do that often at all though.
