Help!!!!!

[Saddle Tramp]

Maybe one of you wise people can answer my question!!!
I have tried everything to glue silicone skirt material to a jig collar with out
success. I've tried ZAP, super glue, contact cement, 2 part epoxy all without
success. I even called 3M company and they were no help. I know it can be
done because jigs are sold with the skirt glued to the collar for quick change
skirts. Any info will be eternally appreciated!!!

I've experimented quite a bit with tying silicone skirts and strands onto jig heads and the only way I could even remotely keep the skirts in place using ANY kind of cement was to first wrap the collar of the jig head with a coarse thread.
Wrap the whole collar and then build up a hump just behind where you want the skirt to anchor. The hump will deter the skirt from being pulled off even if the glue doesn't hold real good. The porous nature of the thread or other dacron will give the cement something to hold onto. Trying to glue two slick surfaces is a science in itself !
Unfortunately, silicone is very resistant to glues and cements. It either doesn't stick or it melts the silicone.
It's frustrating but with some experimenting, a solution will be found !


Good luck !
