I have a 2G plastic box that I need to make a single gang with a duplex receptacle. What can I do to adapt the 2G to SG?

Cheapest way is to just put 2 duplex receptacles in it and call it a day. Switch or decora blank in one of the gangs like posted above and an appropriate plate. You can get 2 of those ugly gangable plates, 2 duplex, 1 blank or they actually make duplex by blank plates.
I think you are over engineering it. I would have already slapped the 2nd duplex in and had the check cashed by now.

Now that I think of it I guess he'd never ask if the walls weren't finished. But if the walls are finished, it's just a cover plate question? Not much you can do there... I am sure @A Little Short already thought of using a blank.


Leviton makes double gang plates for a single centered decora device like the ones @CoolWill linked, but I am not sure if either will work with a double gang box.

edit: those won't work, but Kyle does make one that will work:

The one @Jlarson posted would do it but does it really look any better than a blank?
