zap a gap

is zap a gap any different then just plain ole' crazy glue? made up some rigs last night and for the life of me couldn't find my zap, so i used crazy glue. not sure i'm happy with the results. if it is different, will crazy glue weaken the knot?

All I use is no-name super glue. Never had a problem

I use superglue, but after a while in the water, say 5 nights or so, it starts to degrade and I have to re-glue it.
maybe zap a gap is more waterproof?

Zap does not clog the spout as easily as the no-name stuff....
I sell 1/4oz bottles as low as $3.49 - I also have Flex Zap which is good for fixing tears without making the bait rigid and Odorless Zap if you are doing alot of gluing and you don't want to come across as "glue huffer" at the end of day...

anybody ever try using goop for that application? I was wondering if it would enhance the durability of the rig, although I got to admit the fumes nearly knock me out even if I use the stuff in a well ventilated area
