Eyelet stuff

[Fatman]

Found out there is a Michaels store in Vermont, I'm gonna be in trouble now!!!!!!

The wife picked up these three

These ones have a stickum back

These two I'm wondering what's gonna be best for attaching them.

I have used superglue to attach the wiggle eyes and it worked, but you do have to be careful not to get any on the clear dome part. The glue reacts with the plastic and makes it melt.

Here's what works for me. I place a drop of cyanoacrylate glue (i.e. super glue) onto a small sheet of wax paper. Using hemostats, I carefully pick up the eye and set it down into the drop of glue. Next, I pick up the "coated" eye with my hemostats and "center" it onto a "leveled" jig head. I have a metal rack that holds several jig heads to keep them level on my desk top.

When finished with both sides of the jig heads, I coat the entire surface of my "eyed" jig heads with Devcon 2T or Triple Thick and I'm finished.

Was hoping I could get away with just the superglueing!!! Would epoxy (I have the 2 part mix from Janns) work as an overcoat on them???

Dumb thing is I go to Classic Outfitters a fly shop in the same plaza and never realized it was there!!! Which is probably a good thing as now I'm probably gonna get in trouble!!!!!LOL

I love to go in and shop at Michaels, they send me e-mails of all the sales they have going. Sometimes you can save a lot.

Didn't think about that one I'll have to get on the email list. Thanks Stump
