    Default Help getting eyes to stick


    Made some round head jigs into pill heads but my eyes don't stick very well. Tried super glue but glued my fingers, more than the eyes. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks, Don

    Try the gell type and then dip or brush with Sally Hanson hard as nails

    Krazy Glue applied to the jig head, eyes picked up with tip of exacto and placed on jig in position. UV glue over the top of eyes.

    Most likely, simply picking up the eye and placing it in position without glue would work if a layer of glue is placed on and around eyes.

    I use Sally Hanson as my glue. Just dab it on the jig head and press the eyes in place. Let it cure for a hour and your good to go. I have never used a top coat on my eyes.

    Use Stardust powder paint,,,it’s like rubber so when you put your eyes on,,they are on for good,,,,just make sure the jigs still hot when you sticker on,,,,don’t have to bake your jigs either,,mi just wish they’d come out with more colors,…I tried pink and grey the other day and pink is more like bubblegum color and the grey looks like lead but rubberized,,,,so far my favorite colors are stone white camo and black gravel …
