Do you envirotex users apply the envirotex with the eyes in???? Or out??? Comments....suggestions?:confused:

eye in...

What do you use to adhere the eye in place? Wood glue? :confused: Thanks.:D

Most of the eyes I use have an adhesive in the back. I like to put them in before I apply the epoxie, it holds them in well and I think makes for a more streamlined finish.

Do you use the flat "sticker" eyes or molded plastic or glass eyes?:confused:

Molded Epoxy Eyes, Scott has them here:

Could be worse. I hung all the plugs I made this winter from a yardstick nailed above my office window. My wife thinks it looks cool and doesn't want me to fish any of them!
