I had used Pro-Soft bait glue but the bottles always clogged.

Now I have been using Locktite Super Glue in the "Gel Control" dispenser.
Very good and no drying up in the bottle.
I repair swimbaits with this stuff and it works good.


All the various super/crazy/krazee/glue products have the same active
ingredient -- cyanoacrylate. It is triggered to cure by the introduction
of moisture. If you can keep moisture out of the tip, it won't clog. If
you live where the average humidity is over 50%, it's going to clog no
matter what the dispenser design. If you live in the desert, it won't.


HA! I tried the multiples of the cheapest tubes. (I live in the desert)
They clog and puncture and make a mess. Rarely will a tube last more than
one trip. They leak on my fingers, and never seem to put glue in the right
place.

I wouldn't mind a tube every trip if it was easy to use. Afterall I found
three packs a couple places for 99¢. Unfortunately they make a mess and
rarely last a whole trip, and the glue is hard to apply. The brush on is
more expensive at around $3 per tube, but it lasts for dozens of trips, has
a large opening that doesn't clog as easily, and the glue goes on easily
exactly where I want it with the applicator brush.

I can see where it might still just go solid or glue shut in a high humidity
envirnment though.
