Glue

[Severn Wolf]

Whats a good glue to stick things to lead with?

 

I`m messing round with some camo for the upcoming campaign on a stinking hard water. The glue needs to be strong but also have a bit of `give` (maybe pva based?) to allow for knocks and bangs. Stuff like Superglue and Araldite are just too brittle.

 

I`ll need quite a bit of the stuff, got a fair few to do so am looking for a pot of glue rather than a tube.

 

Any suggestions?

what about camo paint?

[Severn Wolf]

Do you get that from the same place that makes striped paint?

 

I`m using bits of stuff off the lakebed which have been dried out.

I'm not sure you need the 3-D effect of attaching bits to your lead. Basically, anything that would break up the outline and not clash should do it.

 

Chesters1 was probably making a joke since good camo paint is way too expensive for this sort of thing but how about using pieces of camo tape? It is cheap enough and easy to carry so you could take along the roll and if a lead started to shed it's tape, you could reapply.

 

http://www.duct-tape.com/camouflage_ducttape.html has the sort of thing you need but there are almost certainly UK sources as well.

I definitely need glue. I`ve been plastic coating leads for a while and dip the leads into the ground up powder from the lakebed while the plastic powder is still hot. This works well but it seems a long way round doing things and also a waste of powder as its only going to get covered up.

 

A decent glue would save a lot of time and hassle.

 

Just thinking, are there any glues made for the Marine industry that might work?

Have you thought about using silicon sealant. Very sticky when wet and flexible when dry.

After it has completely cured (few days) there should not be any.

what about pva glue ,let it get thick after leaving the tin opened for a while then dip the lead in it and roll it in the stuff ,it dries pretty clear.
