McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 FR Capt Bob recommends fletchtite or the products used to keep the nocks and fetching on arrows. It's what I use too. In my opinion far superior than super glue I second that, fletch tight dries a bit slower than super glue, so you have time to move the eyes into position. Then one solid press, and they are in place. Let dry for a few minutes before pulling, playing or messing with the eyes to insure they don't pop off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it doesn't. After the Gorilla brand glue, the one that foams up, they completed their line of adhesives with other products like Gorilla tape and Superglue. Not the same glues just same brand.

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 As noted I use Fletch-Tite almost exclusively for attaching holographic or hard plastic doll eyes... The stuff comes in a silver tube with the perfect tube end to add a single dot of glue and is available anywhere you buy archery supplies (I get mine at my local Bass Pro). The trick is not to do both eyes at the same time and use a clamp with each eye after gluing up ( I use both Irwin mini-clamps and ordinary spring loaded clothes pins...). A dot of glue, the eye is added, then clamped for about five minutes... then you remove the clamp, add the second eye, and re-clamp for another five minutes. I'm usually doing around a dozen at a time and the eyes last and last (at least the doll eyes do - the holographic eyes tend to peel away leaving just the thin plastic base remaining where the eye was.... At any rate Fletch Tite is just much, much more durable than any other glue I've tried -it also has the advantage of providing a professional result.

Philly 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2016 If I'm doing a foam bait fish patter, Crease Fly, I just stick them on since they're going to be covered with UV resin anyway. For bait fish patterns I've been using a small drop of thick UV resin under the eye, hit it with the light and it stays in place till I get around to coating the head area with UV resin. I've also used silicone and Liquid Fusion and thick Super Glue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
