The sticky on the back of the eyes is pretty good but do you guys use anything along with it to make sure they don't come off??

I use 30 minute epoxy that I buy from the Hobby store (Great Planes).... mix a little bit of it with the activator and brush it on... it wont affect plastics like the nail polish will. Just make sure that you have a bunch of disposable brushes... because they are ruined after you use them. I usually wait until I have enough jigs ready to make it worth while.

Been using Sally's over top and no problems. One set was paper back appeared to be less sticky. The rest with plastic sheets have plenty of stick.

On small jigs I just use Sally Hansens but on spinnerbait heads or large bass jigs I use epoxy. I over pay I know but I use the WTP 3D eyes and I have used them without a seal coat for an entire day fishing and the eyes didn't come off. The eyes are a lot more expensive but the adhesive they use is excellent so I'm confident in just using the Sally Hansens on the smaller heads.

I have recently started using Clear Goo on my 3D EYES. Pretty pricey but wow does it ever work. Tried the Hard as Nails also.

I have some CSI Seal Coat I put over them. Seems to stick pretty well. I keep it in one of those jars with a built-in bodkin. I use the bodkin to dab a drop over the eye and spread it around then hang them to dry.
