Markell Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I like the Devcon much better than the Zap-a-Gap. The mixing is not a problem and it dries crystal clear. I overestimated how much I needed and when I was done with my weekguards I decided to experiment with a Devcon top coat on one of my jigs. Very impressive. Does any one use Devcon as a top coat on wire baits? I'm guessing a drying wheel would be needed. It may be more trouble than it's worth but it sure does make for a deep finish. FYI... The jig head I experimented with was one of my bad paint jobs. I used black/blue flake powder paint and the finish was very rough. Devcon smoothed it out and made it shine better than my best powdered head I had made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Yeah I own quite a few members spinners & jigs that are coated in devcon. The good thing about rotating spinners & jigs is that you can get away with a smaller wheel & smaller motor. Maybe look into a piece of EVA foam to sink the hook into & mount the foam directly to the motor shaft & wha-la, drying wheel Ive seen these sold on Ebay, but havnt seen em lately.

Gr8flyz Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 I coat the heads on my jigs & wire baits with Devcon, add some fine pearl glitter to it and it really looks neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markell Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 red-g8r, I tried the foam idea and it works but I am gonna build one that has a stronger hold. It will be over kill for what I need but should be a fun project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
