jrhopkins Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 was in the local Lowes store the other day and they had Devcon 5 minute epoxy. $15 for the 9 oz. size. that is close to what I have been paying from Ebay with shipping. now I don't have to wait a week to get it!

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) 5 minute? I thought most builders wanted a little more working time. Edited July 14, 2016 by Bob La Londe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 5min is too fast, turns yellow, and is not considered waterproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Maybe a typo. However 5 minute still used to glue things like line ties, hook hangers, fibbets for fins, lips, through wire construction..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedyarb Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 On jrhopkins dvd he uses a lot of 5 minute epoxy for all the thru wire. So probably not a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhopkins Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I don't use it for a topcoat so yellowing doesn't matter. I use it as an adhesive for gluing the baits together and setting the fins in the baits. just thought I would put that info out there in case someone was looking for some and DIDN'T WANT TO GET IT OFF EBAY ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Young Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I like ebay and hate concrete floors. 5 minutes on a concrete floor and I can barely walk. However you can ask your local hardware store to stock what you need. If you use 4 or more a year, they will gladly add it to their inventory. Believe me, I serviced hundreds of hardware stores in my career. Most of them survive on fewer than 3 turns per year. I am a big fan of supporting the little guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I try and get mine from big box stores when I can (rare) but see Lowe's has the size you listed and the syringes. Ace is about 1 mile from my house and the only local place that carries it in the past (regularly and only the 0.85 oz syringe) only issue is you pay a huge mark up to have some one ask if you need help (75% more than the current Lowe's price).

jrhopkins Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) I asked about stocking the 2ton but no luck on that. I guess it is a corporate decision. Edited July 18, 2016 by jrhopkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzfly Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) The Devcon 30/2 Ton is what I have a used for 20 years. The big bottles are the way to go. I am still looking for a good thin coating to dip my lures in. Not wanting to derail this thread. I come from the Saltwater Fly and Plug end and always use the Devcon. If you have an ACE Hardware store they will order it for you. You have to have them get the big book out and have them add it to their order. It does not cost them anything and it will come with their next truck delivery. Edited July 19, 2016 by buzfly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
