I'm sure some of you have seen the Squid/Sperm plug. I want to add eyes to it. 1/2 molded ones.
What would be the best adhesive/glue? Thinking of Zap a Gap.
-
zap a gap works as does 5 or 30 minute epoxy
-
Which would you recomend? Fly cement???
-
I would use 30 minute epoxy. Would not recommend fly cement. Too thin.
-
well striper66.......if the plug is already finished and u drilled out for the eyes then like salty sez epoxy them in.
-
The plug is finished. My dilema.
-
nice sperm color
-
nice squid color if i say so my self
-
Best way to add 1/2 inch eyes without messing it up?
-
well use a sharp fostner bit in a drill press with a jig to hold the plug and go slow as not to ruine the paint........but remove the hooks for safety u dont want a hook in your arm or finger........or use 1/2 inch sticky eyes and e-tex the whole plug useing a spinner and remove the hooks as well.........i think that was your question
-
I am not a plug builder. At all. I have this plug and would like to add the eyes to it. Is there away to just glue/epoxy the eyes on?
-
what he said.
As a sperm painter that thing looks hideous. Looks like it's been rolling around for 6 days in lilo's thing and it looks like it got run over by a mack truck :D
As a squid painter however I'd say you aced it.
:)
-
use flat eyes with epoxy. Your going to ruin the paint. Next time you want to do all your drilling BEFORE you paint or finish.
-
I didn't paint it A friend in Maine did.
-
use flat eyes and be done with it
Cast out and yell THAR SHE BLOWS :)
-
I just ordered molded eyes from you. Bummer. I'll see what I can do.
-
well your friend must be an arteest.........nice squid color
-
Thanks. I thought he did a great job. I screwed up with not getting the eyes on it.
-
no biggie...next time........blue fish dont care about eyes anyway
-
Received eyes today. They have their adhesive and seem pliable. Now i just need to get some glue/epoxy.
-
