Predator Bass Baits Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hey Guy's, I know before the site went down there was a discussion on glue for weedguards, I am using (Goop ) you can get it in most stores, alot easier then a 2 part epoxy, I use that glue for other things as well and it is top of the line, no mixing or fuss.

Elken Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I use superglue gel; the regular superglue is too thin and makes a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomisman Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I've tried super glue but like said above it doesnt work. I've found 2part epoxy works the best for me. I will have to try the goop though if its easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I use the gel as well, so far so good! Just be careful, if you put too much on, it dries white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 The goop dries clear and you do not need much, takes overnight to fully cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsinyard Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I use superglue. I put just a dab in the hole then stick in the weedguard. I then cover the jig with 2 part epoxy and brush it next to the weedguard. I have never had any trouble of one coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEVSkeeter Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I've yet to find a glue other than gorilla which expands and requires trimming or, epoxy where you could not pull the weed guards out. This may not be an issue to you however, for me I tournament fish and don't trust the other glues. Just my Opin................. you know what I mean.

Predator Bass Baits Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Have you tried the goop then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEVSkeeter Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Have not Jim. One thing about Gorilla is it takes some time to set up. How's the Goop work for you? Drying time, working time, etc. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 It does set-up quick but not like super glue so you do have time to straighten it, cures overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEVSkeeter Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Just bought some. I'll give it a try on a few jigs tonight. Thanks for the info. It does set-up quick but not like super glue so you do have time to straighten it, cures overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 If you do not like it, not all is wasted, I will purchase it from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I use a glue I get from Radio Control Hobby shops. It is a form of super glue and is called CYANOACRYLATE GLUE - EXTRA THICK. It is used on radio control planes and toys because of the vibration factor with these things. I like it because it is as stated, extra thick and much easier to work with than the super glues in the tube you pick up at the check out stand in stores. It comes in a 2 oz. plastic bottle with a nozzel that inserts easily into the socket for a weedguard. You can also pick up a long tapered nozzel to add on to the one on the bottle if you want to do finer applications and only release a drop at a time. 2 oz. lasts forever and only cost like $8 while the little tubes of super glue do not last very long at all and cost $1-$2 ea. I have not had a problem with the weedguards coming out, even when bent over 90 degrees and fanned out. Try it, I think you'll be pleased.

JIGNPIG Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Guys,try using Devcon epoxy. It works the best and you can also use it as a clear coat on your jig heads! You can find it at Wal-Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hey Jevskeeter, how about posting your results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gat0r Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I tried Goop mostly based on prompting from this website. I hated it. Half of the 50 jigs I did I was able to pull the weedguard out the next day (about 12 hours of curing time). I've been using Devcon epoxy but the two part mixing is a chore sometimes and a blob will dry up pretty quick on you. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong with the GOOP (garage too cold, not using enough - although using too much gets glue on the jighead, etc), but I was not impressed on my first use. I'd like to know how some of the devcon guys apply your glue and the same with GOOP. Also this might be a real stupid question. Once you get the tip full of Goop on the first use, how do you use the tip (applicator) the next time? Mine was full of Goop that hardened that I couldn't rinse out the night before. My Devcon process is like this: I squeeze two parts into a cup, mix it with a toothpick. Dip the end of the weedguard in the epoxy mix and jam it in the jig. Cures fast, is stuck there for life, but it takes a few mixes to do 50 jigs because it hardens up so fast. Looking for a "better way" from some of you guys that have this down to a science.

fish devil Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I use devcon 2 ton 30 minute epoxy. I mix it in a small plastic container. The smaller the better. I mix it with a wire hanger, then dip and stick the weedguard. I have everything place out ready to go and I move fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Sorry to hear about the Goop, did you notice on the lable it has a 24hr bond period ? 12 hrs is too short. Please give it one shot but give it the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gat0r Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Like I said it was probably me. . . I ripped open the package thru the package out.. .then several days later did the gluing. Go figure all I needed to know was on the package I thru out! Might give it another whirl. And use Devcon when I'm in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
