I think I just stumbled on to a guarded secrete . I was putting flat eyes in a recessed socket swim bait (haven't tried this on 3D yet) . You normally dip lures with eyes in clear hot plastic to keep them on . I'm about sick of that . Just as luck would have it I was painting them a sexy shad color . Got out the clear plastic paint to over coat and blend the colors . Then is when it hit me . If it sticks to plastic it will keep eyes on . So I dipped the whole freak'in thing in eyes and all . I have had no problem with the eyes staying on this far . Maybe just maybe we may have something . The Plastic paint is from Lure Craft .
