    Default flat eyes


    What is the best way to apply flat stick-on eyes to jig heads? I have tried several different methods,mainly Sally Hanson's clear polish,but drying time is slowing me down really bad because I don't have much patience. Thanks for helping with any advice.

    Most use Walleye jig heads or pill heads so the flat eye has a flat spot to get glued to and gel superglue is probably best, but think there are a few types you can use. Also think some coat a clear coat over. Also know Sally’s will change the color of Chartreuse, both types. I use something even slower to dry if I over coat and that is clear vinyl.

    I personally love gorilla clear glue. Doesn’t discolor eye and have yet to have one pop off. A lot use two part epoxy be it 5 minute or 30 minute. I don’t like epoxy. I’m in no hurry though. I do one side of eyes and then 2 hours later or so do the other and then let set for a day or so. I used Sally’s once when I 1st started and never again.
