steve187 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I am using Super glue gel. So far I am satisfied with the adhesion qualities. I glue lots of weedguards at a time. Maybe 50 or 100. When I come out the next day to check the process the jig heads always have a cloudy film on them. I assume it's some sort of a gas or vapor deposit as part of the curing process. It seems to wipe off OK but it's a pain. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Yes it is very common with gel super glue. It is the cyanoacrylate drying and evaporating. Nothing you can do if you use this glue I just wipe it off. If you want it shiny again by the weedguard hole, you can take some liquid car polish rub it on and buff it off. Yes it does work. If you want to eliminate the white chalky residue, you can use D2T as it dries clear in 24 hours. Maybe other have more ideas. I have gotten some glue from a member here that I am experimenting with that dries clear. I will post when I get a chance.

Vodkaman Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Has anyone tried curing in front of a small fan, a computer style axial fan would work. This would blow the fumes away before they got a chance to settle and cause the stain. I don't have any gel and the standard CA glue did not leave a stain on my test piece, so you guys will have to test the idea and report.

smalljaw Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I use the D2T for weedguards. It's easier for me since I going to use it as a top coat also, I tried the fan with super glue gel on jigs I wasn't going to top coat and I still got the residue problem. I used a small coleman tent fan so maybe it wasn't enough air flow but after that I just stick to what works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I am out shopping, I will see if I can find the gel and do some testing. I am sure there is a solution here. I did some web searching, but could not find anything on the subject of this deposit problem. Dave ps. Just found this link, about fingerprint detection. It seems that humidity might be part of the problem: http://www.brad.ac.uk/acad/lifesci/cfs/localaccess/pwrdreqd/FEESM/pdfs/detection%20methods%20-%20Superglue.pdf Edited June 23, 2011 by Vodkaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazt* Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) I would just mold them in, if you can. Edited June 23, 2011 by blazt* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbasser Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I also use a two part epoxy. Its easy and dries clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCBOS Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I had the same issue. I started using Locktite slow drying gel ( from a post by cadman) I don't use very much, but so far it has not had the staining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timturr Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Any type of super glue will leave this white residue. The oil from your fingers on the jig and the weedguard seems to really attract the residue. I wear gloves when I remove the jig from the oven after baking and I wear gloves while gluing in the weedguards. I don't handle the weedguards with bare hand either. I buy latex gloves and they are very cheap from Uline. I also have a fan the is 12 inches in diameter that I leave on the jigs while they cure. All of this helps but some residue can still be seen but can be taken off with you fingers when putting the skirt on. I usually try to glue in the weedguards last thing at night so I can leave them to cure for at least 12 hours before I package them. I do about three hundred of these a day. I would prefer to use D2T but it sets up so fast and gets stringy. Super glue gel is the best option I have found for strength and productivity.

rayhorse Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone, I’m new on this forum. For gluing the weed guard I use fiber glass resin, is like epoxy you need to mix two parts. I like to add a little amount of talc or baby powder for make it heavyor dense, you can add color to this mix too. If you touch the mix with your fingers you will mess around your jig. Take care.

steve187 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well, I've been gone for a bit. My computer crashed and I haven't solved that issue yet. I have to negotiate with the wife for time on her PC, LOL . Anyway I built some jigs the other day and used the superglue gel for the weedguards. I placed a fan blowing directly on them and the next day when I checked them they were just fine. I now have a location set up for that part of the process. Thank you for the suggestion.

Dave OK I'll give it a try. I'm sort of embarrassed to because it's simply to point a fan on them while they are drying. I'll get a pic.

I only ask because Smalljaw tried it without any luck. He did say that his fan may not have been big enough, so it is more for a visual of the fan type/size and the distance and direction. We are all learning, so embarrassment is not an issue. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Here is a pic from a few I tied this afternoon. I used this arrangement with the fan once and it turned out fine. The jigs didn't have any deposits on the jig head. I hope these turn out good also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWJigs Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I am new here but I use a 2 part 5 minute epoxy from Harbor Freight. I am very pleased with it. I can't glue but around 5 or so at a time but it gets the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I bought a bit of it I've repaired many things around the house with it. It is some strong stuff. Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munkin Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The only time I get the residue is if I use too much glue. I just use a tiny drop in the bottom of the cavity and have never had one come out. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
