perchpunk22 Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Me being the idiot. I superglued the dividers in my hook 3700 and left it to dry. Put everything away a couple hours later and the next day open it up and there seems to have been a chemical reaction, maybe moisture. But my box and all the hooks in the box are now coated in a light white residue. Can anyone explain this? It comes off with like scrubbing. Is there an easier way to clean hundreds of hooks? I feel like a dumb **** Quote

I feel like a dumb **** It's cyanoacrylate residue, common when CA fumes in an enclosed area. A total technique for developing latent fingerprints comes from the use of CA in a vacuum along with the non-porous object. As for how to remove it, why bother? It won't hurt anything, and it's a lot of work to get off. 1 Quote

shootermcbob Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 'Ya don't think the fish would smell that stuff? lot's of folks use superglue to glue a trailer into a jighead, the fish don't seem to mind then. I would guess this would not be any different. Quote
perchpunk22 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Thank you for the info Hooligan, I really appreciate the explanation. I guess I'm not too worried about it anymore, fish won't smell it, the amount on the hook would be less than the amount used to glue a trailer. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 31, 2011 Global Moderator Posted July 31, 2011 When I'm trying to make several jigs in a hurry I sometimes use super glue to anchor the weedguards and get that same residue. I've got plenty of pictures of big fish I've caught on my jigs if you don't believe they'll still eat a bait that has that stuff on it! If you're really worried about it put a little attractant on your bait to cover it up. Quote
