smalljaw Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I need some help here. I'm going to start pouring jigs and I've read about epoxying the weedguards in after paint and curing(using powder paint for this) but I haven't read anything about what kind of epoxy anyone has used. Also, how do they hold up as compared to casting them in place? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIGNPIG Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 smalljaw, use Devcon 2 ton epoxy, that's what everyone uses. The epoxy you use must be water proof. You can get it at Wal-Mart or just about any hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elken Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I have been using super glue gel and it seems to work pretty well. Don't get the regular thin super glue, it is messy and wicks up the fibers. The gel is easy to control, holds well and cures fairly quickly.

CullinHogs Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Elken, you can get an accelerator for the super glue at any hobby shop. dip the weedgaurd end in the accelerator and the glue won't wick up the fiber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I have found the least expensive glue to use is a Cyanoacrylate Glue - Extra thick. It comes in a 2oz. bottle and costs about $9 and absolutely lasts almost forever, have done thousands of jigs with one bottle. You can find it in Radio Control Hobby shops, it is not a 'super glue', but very close. I used the gel for a while and it really is the best, but eats a hole in your pocket and could only find it in the small tubes. This stuff mentioned seemed to be the best if doing any type of production, and does the job. George Reeves H&P Tackle Welch, OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
