Falkus Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Am looking for a epoxy to put on the hooks that I made with the Mono line. It looks like I need to add but I want a small or reuse epoxy. Dont want to get something then it becomes a one time thing, I meant, I only have ten hooks to do. However, if there is an alternative way of doing this which I could use the gorilla super glue. It's kinda of "waterproof for 500 hours. Feel free to let me know if there is one THanks Quote
DomQ Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 I use clear nail polish hardener or a clear coat when tying my trebles. Works great for feathers but you might want to try a clear super glue to hold it more in place if its not at the desired angle. Quote
moguy1973 Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 What about a UV acrylic like this one that Orvis sells. You'll need a UV light that sets the acrylic in a couple seconds. Fly tiers use this to make flies and it's hard stuff. http://www.orvis.com/p/bug-bond/1Y59?item_code=1Y590400&adv=127748&cm_mmc=plas-_-FlyFishing-_-1Y59-_-127748&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqIbOioHW2QIVjwBpCh2-FApQEAQYBSABEgLAQ_D_BwE Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted March 5, 2018 Super User Posted March 5, 2018 I do some weedless guards with thread and hard as nails. Epoxy will work great, but a bit of over kill I think. I'm not a fan of superglue, but it will work. If you are really getting into doing a bunch of baits, the uv curing glues are awesome. Quote

INEEDANEWSCREENNAME030718 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Devon 2 ton, 2 part epoxy. It hardens fast, waterproof, and has a long shelf life as well as being awesome for many house hold tasks. The lure in my profile pic is sealed with it. Another lure I did was hit by a 9 foot gator and I fought him for 20 minutes the seal was so good that the Lure remain untouched and only two small chips of paint and sealer came off. I still use the lure today it's one of my most productive. Get the thirty min stuff (actually have 12 - 15 min use time).cures to full strength in a few hours. Great on braided lines! Quote
