__gabby Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 After I paint The jig i take a drill bit a clean out the paint from the weed guard hole. Then I Use a small amount of super glue to glue the weed guard in place. The Problem is the super glue runs up on the weed guard making in stiff,and sometimes when you bend it back and forth the weedguard will come out. Im sure there is a better way to do it im just dont know what that is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks __gabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtlegs Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Try the lock-tite gel super glue, it does not seep up the weedguard. -Trey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomisman Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I use epoxy works good. The gel probably would too. The problem with Super glue is what you found to thin. To keep the paint out of the hole put a pin in it when you dip it in the paint. Then pull it out with pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr186 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I am with Gloomisman, Devcon seems to be the easiest and best thing I have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIGNPIG Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Gabby, go to Home CHEAP O, or Lowe's and buy some 1/8 wooden dowels. Then cut them into one or two inch pieces, then heat and dip the jig, then dip into a water bath, pull the dowel out, and then bake to cure the paint. Or just have them in if you are brush painting. That way you don't ruin the mold pins. All so Devcon is the best way to go to glue in weed guards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Where can you buy Devcon? Is that something I can pick up at Wal-Mart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr186 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Wal-Mart paint dept.. Buy the 30min not the 5. It is about $2 for enough to do thousands of weed guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
