Super User iceintheveins Posted July 25, 2010 Super User Posted July 25, 2010 Anyone ever use it? Looks like it would be great for all plastics, but especially senkos and rage shads. http://www.menditglue.com/ Quote
gobig Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 All the time. It does not work on all plastics though. Quote
hmongkidBee Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 it works pretty good. I like using it for my paddletail swimbaits and my ragetail baits especially the anaconda. Quote
s13john Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 works good and is in a convenient container. but i belive all it is, is pvc pipe glue or cleaner one hopefull someone can correct me on that. but it will save you a bunch of soft plastics. Quote
Gorgebassman Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I cant say as I have ever used it but I use super glue gel for the same thing seems to work well for me . Quote
shortbasser Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Never leave home without it. Best soft plastic glue I ever used. It will not glue your fingers together like super glues. Dries quick. Has saved me a few bucks too. Shortbasser Quote
Mattlures Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 It is not PVC glue. They may apear similer but the results are not. Once Mend-it cures you are left with a repair that is like new and just as soft. Quote
buzzcatcher Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Absolute junk! Or let me correct that, the container is junk. Got some 2 weeks ago and you have to squeeze so hard that my thumb got sore. Went to use it yesterday and it was to thick to even come out so in the trash it went. Also leaves a white residue at the repair which is rather ugly. The glue itself works pretty good on the bigger main body parts, not so good on small appendages. A wood burning tool with an exacto blade attachment is what I use and it works awesome. Not trying to bash, just telling my experience. Buzz Quote
lavbasser Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Does acetone thin it out? I need to thin mine out. Any advice is appreciated. Quote

Super User iceintheveins Posted July 25, 2010 Author Super User Posted July 25, 2010 Looks like I will be picking some up. Quote
Mattlures Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 MEK is the best for thinning it. Acetone will work. If you had a problem you should have contacted Will he would have taken care of you. I have never seen a white residue so something is off. Maybe you had something on your bait? Either way the customer service is more then good. Quote

MaxumBass Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 My bottle also worked great the first time I used it and was dried up a week later. I now use my soldering gun to melt them back together. I throw all used baits in a zip lock bag until I have enough to fool with. I have the same problem with super glue, its always bad the second time you want to use it. Quote

Avalonjohn44 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I have not had a single problem with the bottle being tough to squeeze, or with the stuff drying out. I bought a bottle last summer, and estimate that I have saved over a hundred bucks just on the senkos and sweet beavers I've ressurected. I've used it for everything and it's saved me tons of cash. It won't work on the 'Elaztech' stretchy plastic, but should work with just about everything else. Well, not gulp... Plus, you can use it to make cool new baits... You can add arms and legs from one bait to another. It's really fun to experiment with. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Also, never saw any white residue whatsoever. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted July 27, 2010 Super User Posted July 27, 2010 I thought the drying out issue was resolved with a new type of bottle - one that didn't allow evaporation. I thought this was taken care of for a while now. Quote

You have to take the cap off. That comment is as worthless as Mend It. Hey buzzcatcher you really must have gotten a bad bottle. First, in a good bottle you barely have to squeeze at all to get it to come out. It just drops like one drop at a time, and it allows for a very precise amount to be used. Second, it DOES NOT dry out if you always keep it in moderate temperatures and make sure to keep the cap on tight when not in use. The stuff works incredibly well when used as directed. I don't mean to imply that your dumb or something, just that you got a bad bottle. The good bottles don't dry out, definitely don't leave any residue, and most times you can't even see the repair. It just needs to sit for 10 or more minutes before it sets completely in your bait, then its all good. You are giving people the wrong impression of the product because, if you get a good bottle, which I'm sure most people do, none of the problems you had will occur. I bought mine directly from Will Hesch on Ebay about a month ago. That's where he sells it for the best deal, and if you're willing to try it again I highly recommend Ebay. Quote
kms399 Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I bought mine on ebay last year in june I think, bottle is still half full works like a charm I have been using it more this summer than I did last year. saving me a ton on rage toads. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted July 27, 2010 Super User Posted July 27, 2010 bought mine over a year ago , jsut as good as the day i bought it Quote
chromedog Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I just use a superglue gel with a brush applicator. Works awesome, inexpensive and easy for my to get my hands on when needed. Quote
shortbasser Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 New packaging now available for Mend-it. Should solve the drying out problem. They say it should have a 2 year shelf life now. Glass bottles in 1/2 oz. and 1 oz. with a brush applicator. $7 and $12. Info is on their website. Shortbasser Quote

TrippyJai Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I am about to pick up a bottle off eBay, but I have a few questions before I do. Lets say I rip my senko where I place my hook a wacky rig, if I mend it back together, can I place the hook again where it ripped? Also is this the new packaging? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300370266347&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Quote
