Thanks Lou,
Which are the 3 or 4 highest quality brands?

Highest quailty IMNSHO, Loctite or Henkel brands. I work for them so
I'm somewhat biased. In the consumer market(Lowes, Home Depot etc)
probably sold under the Quiktite name in nifty dispensers. You might
also try an industrial distributor for more choices. If you do that
ask for 495 for general purpose, or 454 for a gel. Also 420 is water
thin and will wick into the threads. If they have 380 or 480 try
them..they're black, rubber toughened formulations. They'll also have
the accelerator in either a brush top or spray bottle.

For spills, the absolute best solvent is nitromethane if you can get
it or almost as good, acetone...nail polish remover for real nails.
The stuff for fake nails is ethyl acetate and won't work, neither will
alcohol or toluene.. You'll need a lot if it's a big spill since the
solvents just dissolve the cured ca and spread it around.. for small
drops you can just allow it to cure fully then scrape the glob off
with a razor and then just clean the area with acetone.

What a great thread. Thanks to all for input!!!
What is best adhesive to attach foam (hard and flexible) to fly hooks? CA
or other? Any advice to make your recommendation hold up longer?

Lou,
Though I am wrapping rods right now I have another question regarding super
glue. The metallic tag wraps are always a pain to me. You get them wrapped,
trim the excess, think they look tight and the next second they unravel on
you prior to covering with Hi-Build. That is why I am using the tiniest spec
of super glue on my wraps as a temporary hold prior to applying the epoxy.
Question - will super glue be visible under the epoxy finish? I hope you or
someone can answer this question.
Thanks,
G

Can you tell us what the accelerant for CA's is?

.....used to sell super glue to fly fishing stores, as Sandy's Superfly.
I've seen it get hard in the bottle, but never evaporate.
Keeping it cold does extend the shelf life. The most important thing
is to use Teflon tubing as a super accurate, pin-point dispensing tool.

I use thin CA glue (ZapCA, for instance) for thread wraps, and medium
viscosity glue (ZapAGap, for instance) for most everything else.
The ability to place pin-point drops at just the right spot makes all
the difference.

Where to get teflon tubing Thank You?

I will cost about ten bucks to get a lifetime supply of tubing:
24 guage thinwall Teflon tubing for ZapCA
and 18 guage thinwall for ZapAGap

Thanks Gents.
