kellure Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 CLU uses 1500 lb Devcon on screw eyes, etc. Its a pretty standard practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Devcon epoxies are an adhesive first & foremost..... it just happens to make a durable clearcoat also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Use the 5 minute epoxy for lips, weights, and screw eyes. Use the long cure 2500psi for clearcoating. Of course the rest of the guys on this site know that I really don't have an opinion about Devcon vs. other clearcoats. But I kinda like the stuff.

Tally Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 OK Gary I saw the devcon the other day like you bought which has the needle that mixes the devcon when it comes out. That is the wrong deal unless you can afford the tips. Get the devcon 5 minute that has a re closeable cap. Hope this helps. Tally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I was wondering what he was talkin about Devcon is packaging syringes with a premix tip? -L-I-B- :idea: Yeah Gary, if you run out of syringe tips just dispense equal amounts onto a sheet of paper or a dixie cup, whatever & use a toothpick, or similar to mix it well, then use a brush to apply. if youre quick enough you can clean that brush in some acetone & reuse it awhile. Check the knowledge base for a tutorial on clearcoating with FlexCoat: Click Here its a different epoxy, but the process is the same. Oh yeah & stay away from the 5min version for clearcoat, its fine for an adhesive, but will yellow over time. use the slow set (30 min) for clearcoating.

cullin8s Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 if you are gluing weights, lips and hangars in a large number of baits the 5 minute with the 2 tips is great, but for normal use the regular kind is best as mentioned. The mixing it does in that tip is unbelievable, you really wouldnt think it would actually mix it but it does. I used about 1/64 of the tube i bought with my two tips lol. I only got that one because it was all they had at the time and i wanted the lip and hangars in a prototype i was working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
