Sealant for stick on eyes

[Goose22]

I use powder coat paint for my jig heads (1/16 and 1/8 oz pill head and minnow head). Once I have cured my jig heads, I use flat stick on eyes. What is the best way to seal the eyes to the jig head? I am currently using Sally Hansen's clear nail polish, but have not had time to test it. Will that work? Can I use the CS finish on top of powder paint? Thanks in advance!

If your looking for an over coat for that, then I would pick clear vinyl as it's tougher that powder paint and it will not foul your colors like Sally's will. Now Sally's I find really only mess up FL Yellow and Chartreuse so for them you need something else. Some just use Brush on super glue to attach them or any other eyes. I actually use both Sally's or Vinyl if I want to put a clear over coat and due to colors is why. I would use just the Vinyl, but the drying time is a little long to truly cure.

Been using gel super glue in sockets but a lot of times if I overcoat I'm losing the brilliance of the colors I worked so hard to make bc there seems to be a reaction between the Sally's and gel.

I use Sally on the thread on my ties. Sally has acetone in it which can discolor some pp. So I don't use it on eyes. Tried CS Seal- coat but it made the eyes look cloudy, didn't like it on jig heads for the same reason. What I found that does work for me is Wapsi fly head cement the water base one. No acetone in it so it won't discolor paint and when it dries it won't wash off.
