Gloomisman Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 What are you guys using to coat over these to keep the eyes on? I got some eyes from one of the site sponsers and I figured they were not waterproof, but I tried anyway. I need something to coat them.

maltrout Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have used epoxy in the past, but now I just put a coat of clear nail polish over the eyes. I will lose the jig way before the eyes fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm with maltrout, clear nail polish is the fastest and cheapest way to go. Give it a try, it works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 the clear nail polish doeant chip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 The nail polish has a little brush applicator in the bottle. Apply a drop of clear polish to the top of the eye. The polish will actually run down to the base of the eye and encapsulate the 3-D eye. Actually in a place that is hard to get at for it to chip. Never had any problems with it. Like I said earlier, give it a try, can't loose anything while you could gain a good method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamBacklash Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I use DevCon 2 Ton epoxy and it works great. I just bought a set of "Kids Brushes" from Hobby Lobby, something like 100 brushes for $3.99 and they work perfect for applying the epoxy thin. I stick the eyes on and that's the first place I start when applying the epoxy. Below are a few jigs I just finished last night. Good luck, and let's see some pics when you get them.
