    Default Stick on 3d eyes


    Ok for you guys using the 3D stick on eyes what size are you using???? I know the glue on them doesn't work worth beans but I've got two part epoxy for that.

    Been wanting to try some on my minnow head jigs.

    So far the only ones I have had fit anything I have are 1/8". I have been using Zap Gel for the glue, but man it's hard to keep from them sticking to your fingers and all and once they do the glue is all over them on the wrong side. The only way I can work them so far is some tweezers and bodkin working together. It's so hard to not put too much glue.

    Skip,
    I am not sure on that because I had to order some more eyes but I did place the shank of a 5/32 drill bit into the opening and it fits.Will know for sure when the eyes come in.

    5/32 is the size to fit Crazy Angler's shad jigs, 1/8 will fit others and for the larger weights (1/4 and up) 1/4 inch. Hope this helps.
    The way I do it is very fast and neat. Put a drop, ONLY A DROP, of super glue in the recessed socket, then with an exacto knife slide the eye to the edge of the paper, then place it next to the recessed eye socket and gently
    slide it in place, then using the back of the exacto press firmly on the middle of the eye. Let it sit for five minutes, then repeat on other side. I usually
    do five at a time. Works every time and no mess or sticky fingers!!!

    Is the Gorilla Superglue a thick or runny formula?
