Favorite Head Cement For Jigs

What's everyone's favorite head cement for tying your jigs? I used the black and white label jar forever but they strangely all dried up...so I looked through my random stuff drawer and found a bottle of a milky white head cement.

It's called Troutsmen All Purpose Head Cement, a milky white color, made by Troutsmen Enterprizes. Cost me $2.50 for a 1 oz jar.

I filled up a applicator bottle with it, the one with the long metal tube to get it where you want it, and it's been holding up great. Just half a drop where you tie off and half a drop on the bottom.

Tried it on some jigs, it works great. It's plenty thin, soaks into your thread good, doesn't leave extra hard chenille, doesn't discolor green and yellow chartreuse powder coatings, and best of all, there's no smell! I know I hated using that stuff even with a window open.

I just use thinned clear lacquer and I bought a Pt. can and mix it with MEK. I thin it a lot. This is the best cost way and is the same as the solvent head cements and nail polish.

I use Sally Hensons clear nail polish.Got to watch around powder coat. Will make it bleed.I use super glue a lot for tight corners.Does not bleed the paint. I have looked at the water based stuff like Troutmans and was afraid it would degrade in the water.How does it hold up in the water SmoothLures ??.......Ifish

Water based head cement. Have never had a problem with it coming undone unles sI catrch 5-10 fish on any given jig/fly. If I have a lure last that long and not lose it I am a happy camper anyway.

I'm gonna tie one and toss it in water overnight and see if it softens or dissolves overnight...will let y'all know.
