dragline Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Has any of you guys heard of an applicator of some sort to apply epoxy? - for example - when gluing lexan lips to wood blanks (as in large Musky baits). Its possibly some sort of tube applicator? Any info is appreciated. thanks Dragline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaery Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I have one I got from 3M. Works good. But, you have to keep moving or it will set up. The applicator was about $50. You have to have a mixing nozzle on the end, they are about 75 cents each. Once you use a mixing nozzle, you have to throw away. Too hard to clean out. The 2 part epoxy comes in many different cure times. they are about $12 for a 50ml tube. I have used Devcon and pull it up in a 3 cc syringe and have used that. I get the syringes at a farm supply for about 15 cents each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I use a strip of plastic cut from a credit card to insert epoxy in the bill slot. Work it around so that all surfaces in the slot are coated. Similarly, a piece of stainless wire works for the hook hanger holes. Cut a paper towel into small pieces to wipe away excess epoxy - one swipe per towelette so you don't get stray epoxy where you don't want it.
