champ198 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 what glue are you all using to glue your weed guards in your jig heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Devcon 2 Ton Epoxy or Loctite super glue gel control, the gel control is important, regular super glue can, and often will, wick up the fibers. Not only will the weed guard have a weak bond but it will also develop a white residue along the entire length so rmembmer, super glue you need gel control or you can mix up some Devcon 2 Ton epoxy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I use a clear 2 part epoxy I buy in larger bottles. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSNeely Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I like either Devcon 2-Ton or the Devcon 5 minute epoxy. It depends how many weedguards i need to set. Just make sure you mix it well and have equal parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EironBreaker Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 If using Super Glue, turn a small fan directly on them after gluing the guards in. I think it is the vapors that turns the guards white and having a fan on while drying keeps them from turning white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct, and I do that as well and it does work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Them fumes is nasty. The clue is in the name, it is a cyanide product. X2 on the fan for sure. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohawkman Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I never even thought about the fumes. Good to know, thanks Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 The story is this couple of meth heads broke a beaker and decided to glue it with superglue and continue their craft. While heating that beaker the cyanide in in the glue turned to gas and killed one. The other had cyanide poisoning and was charged with manufacturing. True story.

tmosth Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I use clear goo hydro most of the time. Easy and fast with uv cure light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junyaah Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I just made a post about this same topic and you guys answered all my questions. I will try the fan idea because that whiteness on my jigs isnt perty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Does the thicker gap filling super glue also turn white, if you just let it cure out with no accelerator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodtimesfishing Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Cyanide in super glue? It is used in the manufacturing of super glue, but it is not present in liquid super glue or it's vapor. Super glue can be an irritant but is non toxic. Anyone with concerns about super glue, make a quick call to poison control and they can clear up your fears. It is very safe, believe it or not doctors use it to glue cuts in skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Years ago, when it first came out, a friend who was a medic in Vietnam said they used it to hold ruptured organs together in their trauma treatments, because there was no way to do sutures. I use it all the time to close cuts. But I never use the accelerant to speed it up. That will cause bad burns from the chemical reaction. Been there, done that. But the fumes are nasty, whatever they are. They raise hell with my sinuses I do my super gluing with a fan behind me, and the big door to my garage open, or outside completely, if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedyarb Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Something in super glue is 100% toxic! Cover a balsa bait with it and take a whiff. It makes me cry if I get to close to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) X2 - anything that does that to my eyes and nose, I surely do not want in my lungs. Dave Edited June 5, 2015 by Vodkaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
