    Default Start to Finish


    Here is a start to finish on how I paint one of my favorite heads and put eyes on. Gorilla glue clear is the best I’ve found. No mixing, goes on clear, no odor and eyes don’t come off. I’ve even painted the glue over the eye and clear as can be. I have 2 part epoxy but just never have found a reason to use it once I started using gorilla glue clear. I get my eyes off eBay from lifefly-outdoor on eBay. Best I’ve found and cheap. Comes from China so takes a few weeks. I don’t buy eyes that are on the white paper or whatever it is as they tend to stick to it.

    What's the drying time on the gorilla glue? I use regular super glue.

    The bottle of clear gorilla glue I have says clamp items for 2 hours, full cure in 24 hours. While I admit I haven’t used the clear gorilla glue for jig eyes yet I love this stuff for almost everything. SK got me hooked on it from his jig box build.

    I recently bought some of the gorilla super glue. Haven’t used it yet but I’ve seen a bunch of jig makers on YouTube using the stuff.
