clear cure goo

[sticksteer]

Anybody using the clear cure goo ? The tack free aint so "tack free" . If anybody knows what to use to get that tacky film off let me know, i tried rubbing alcohol but that didnt work so well.

I use it and don't seem to have a problem withy she tack free. I have several different ones including one ths is not tack free and also the Loon I have is not ack free, but the one in question I have done fine with. I even use the thin tack free on some for the Holographic eyes.
What kind of light are you using to cure it?

I bought the kit with the uv light they sell. Maybe i need to keep the light on it a little longer ?

I think the thicker it is used the longer it may take, not positive of that though. They make 2 different lights and the one with the larger glass area has a lot of LEDs I guess They are, but the other one is more costly and doesn't flair out at tgat end as much as the other one I am talking about? It's a lot stronger.

i know at first I got the Loon and then this stuff came out so I ask some questions about it and one thing they said was the Loon light would really work on the Clear Cure Goo, but the Clear Cure light wold work on the Loon because of strength or lack there of for the Loon.

so it would take longer with the weaker light.

thickness may be the problem, i do have the one that flares out on the end . I leave them in a window seal in direct sunlight for a few days and that usually takes care of it. Ive been tying some jigs with glass rattles incorporated into them then covering them with the goo. You can create some pretty cool jigs with them. I'll try and get a few pics posted . Thanks for the info, and yes I still blame you for this addiction !!

LOL, I warned you! DO you really need to cover the whole thing with the glue? That light I am talking about is close to $60 where I see it retail and just around $40 wholesale where the one that flairs out a lot is around $20 wholesale and think close to double that retail. I am surprised it take that long in the sun.

i'll take some pics tomorrow and show you what i'm doing with it. Kinda like making a glass minnow. I use the dumbell eyes and tye them on sickle jig hooks like you would a clouser minnow, then add a small glass worm rattle and the tail material.You can use mylar and wrap it , take a sharpy and draw on gills or any other patterns you like then incase it in goo. Sounds complicated but its really simple.

Sounds interesting and doesn't sound too bad. I have some new materials I bought to try some kind of minnow jig too. It's going to be interesting and ot sure yet how I will do it.

Are you using a rotary vise? That is a must with clear goo....he has many videos but to solve the tacky (Sally Hansons) that is what they recommend . I used thick product a lot in my drop shot flies to add 3-D eyes. Expensive ! Love the things you can do with it!
