dannyp Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have been expermenting (w/ not much success ) On different glues for weedguards. I have been using super glue gel, Excellent but dont like how it turns the Devcon cloudy (2t 30min) Hot Glue wont hold after being submersed, flexcoat and e-tech wick up the weeguard fibers. Guess what I am asking is besides using total D2T, are there any other glue/topcoat combonations that wont affect one another???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyp, I never had the Devcon 2 Ton turn cloudy when using Gel Super Glue. Another thing you can try is using Devcon 5 minute to glue in weedguards and the Devcon 30 minute as a top coat after that. Only problem is that you won't get a lot of weedguards done as the Devcon 5 minute has a very short working time. I only put on a little about the size of a pea and keep on re-mixing new batches. Works very well but time consuming. Edited December 13, 2010 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orionn1 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Let me get this straight? You use devcon which is a glue to glue eye down then your also using a top coat of devcon 30 minutes( which I assume is different from devcon 5)? I just use super glue non gel types never any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Yes yours , I was just saying sometimes I get some glue on the eyes when gluing in weedgaurds If my jig doesn't have 2D/3D eyes I just glue the weedguard in with Gel Super Glue. If my jig does have 2D/3D eyes I just put a dab of glue or 5 min epoxy to hold the weedguard in place, and then cover the whole jig with Devcon 2 Ton (D2T) BTW when you do get glue on the eyes how do you get it off without damaging the eyes and doesn't the cyanoacrylate in the super glue damage the eyes ?
