Braided loops versus ZAP A GAP

I put a braided loop on fly line same as I always have except I used ZAP a Gap instead of Superglue for security. Fly line at connection  turned into a C shape. Great for a strike indicator but tough for casting. Any one else have this issue? Zap a Gap (ZAP) was not spray on, it is the brush on product. I started to experiment with adding a little ZAP  on fly line above leader to see if I could make a nice little bend for an indicator. I think I might hit a sweet spot but it seems like a shot in the dark right now. Fishing small nymphs for steelhead. Seems like a good idea right now.
