Jig Man Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I am working on a “leggy” stand up jig. It has 2 wires coming out the back. I am having trouble keeping them in the holes. I used Gorilla epoxy which I had on hand. It didn’t last long. I switched to JB Weld marine epoxy. It lasted a couple of hours. What’s out there that might work?

Vodkaman Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 My idea is to bend 2mm of the end of the wire, doubled over and crimp with pliers. Tap into tight hole deeper than the crimp. The idea is that the folded wire acts as a barb. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted May 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I gave up on the epoxy idea and drilled all the way through the bait and inserted a U shaped wire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s out there that might work? Some 3m 5200, or the faster curing 5400 ( 24 hrs is not fast in my world ) applied with a toothpick? I have also coated my epoxied weedguard glue spot with UV resin once epoxy cures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Try using medium super glue, like ZAP Glue's medium, and some of their accelerant. That's what I glue my weed guards in with, and then don't come out. Here's where I get mine: https://www.amazon.com/Pacer-Technology-Zap-Tube-Adhesives/dp/B000BQSKFU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
