wootonc Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I tried using epoxy on my swim jigs and spinner bait heads to help hold the eyes on right now I am just super gluing but coming off. The epoxy I tried would turn the white heads yellow looking. Just looking for some direction on what to do to fix it. Thanks for the help.

RayburnGuy Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 30 minute or 5 minute? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braided Line Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I re-spray mine all the time. Never put eyes on them. Never seems to be a problem ,for me al least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Use Devcon 2-Ton epoxy and the 2-ton is 30 minute, the package will either say Devcon 2-Ton or Devcon 5 minute epoxy. I'm saying that because I have tried a lot of different top coats because Devcon gets hard to find at times as only 1 place near me sells it and ordering it online is the only way to get it reliably. I've used Gorilla brand epoxy, Flex Coat, Loctite, and I've used the Component Systems Seal coat and Dick Nites top coats and Decon 2-Ton is the best. Seal coat is ok but it isn't as strong or produce the same color enhancing effect as epoxy and the same thing with the Dick Nite product. The other epoxies I've tried do what you are having a problem with, and that is yellowing, and if you want to know how clear the Devcon is, I have a white spinnerbait that is 2 years old and one I did 4 days ago, if you hold them side by side the older one is slightly less white but it isn't amber or yellow and it took a long time to get that way. In all the stuff I ever used, Devcon dries the clearest and is one of the strongest ones I ever used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 You can try using clear fingernail polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 You can try E-tex (Envirotex Lite) as well. It is a two part epoxy it will keep your white colors the whitest, however it is not as hard (in my opinion) as D2T (Devcon 2 Ton). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippinfool Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 30 minute is the best and gives it a real professional finish but, Loctite super glue dish washer safe has worked just as well. I fish a lot of rock with jigs and spinnerbaits and haven't had one fall off yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wootonc Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 The Stuff I was using was Devcon and It is 5 min epoxy. I will try to find some that says 2 ton and try it. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wootonc - certainly Devcon 2 ton is a proven product in the TU arena. If you cannot find it, then any epoxy that mentions 30 min should work. I really do not know what the 30 minute refers to; you certainly do not have 30 minutes to apply, maybe 5 or 6 minutes tops. The epoxy may be solid in 30 minutes, but a long way off being cured, which takes at least 24 hours. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
