fish devil Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I use devcon 2 ton 30 min for just about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I use Devcon 2 ton for the finish, but I use Devcon 5 minute epoxy for the hardware. Pre-drill a pilot whole smaller then the set screw or screw you are using to attach the hardware, then put some 5 min. epoxy on the screw before putting it in. I even take a very small pin and pit some in the whole if possible. There may be some that pushes out by the time the screw is in, just wipe it away. They hold solid after that!

basser_jim Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 do you recommend Devcon brand? it can be found at wal-mart right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yup Devcon 2 ton epoxy is what I reccomend, but that's just me. That's all I'ved used. They are more options people can help you out with. You can find Devcon at Walmart for about $1.87 in the paint area. Can't beat the price, and ease of use.

basser_jim Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 one more question.... after the bait is all put together, what do I need to coat the bait with before it hits paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I usually put my hardware on last, but that's just me. There are many options for sealing a lure before paint. Some people use primer, some people dissolve plastic pellets and dip their lures in it to form a seal. I'm sure more people will give you some ideas. It has alot to do with personal preference.
