Thread: Epoxy brand-name suggestions?

    I've always had good luck with the Devcon.

    Their 5 minute cures clearer, but it's less durable than the 30 minute stuff.

    I'm having trouble finding the 2-ton in clear cure, which was their 30 minute stuff. All I find now says it cures a light amber (the old stuff had an amber cast to it after a few days, but the 'new' 30 minute is really yellowish).

    For an alternative that cures absolutely clear, I've been using the 'Tripple Thick' one part acrylic gloss. Takes longer than 5 minute epoxy to cure, but is faster than the 30 minute stuff. Only 'problem' with it is that it will cause runing with some markers.

    If you don't need fast curing time, the rod wrap finishing epoxies tend to be much clearer than the glues. I prefer these for coating flies like Myakka Minnows or balsa popper bodies.

    And I'm with Normand...I don't use epoxy or anything else on a Copper John type fly anymore. Fish don't care.
