I got interested in UV Glue a pretty long time ago now, but this video is what gave me so many ideas and I have a fly I tie because of how he does this one. I love this video and it's short and full of ideas you can use for so many things.
Loon Outdoors - UV Clear Fly Finish: Tying the UV Asher - YouTube
I just bit the bullit and ordered the clear cure goo light and the ccg tack free in the 15 mil. Uv knot sense is on my list now for a dubbing ant body fly for the gills and crappie. To the guys that use knot sense does it cure tack free or do you swab it with denatured alcohol.
Sorry I have bought so many different one I don't know which is which except for the Clear Goo because they say Tack Free on one and the other say something else. I have also used the Loon Fly Finish, as well as Wader Repair and Knot Sense, but right now I can't tell you much difference. I will test them all tomorrow for a feel test. I have not tried the Hydro or the Tack Free Flex, but have them all, LOL! So far I have not noticed anything that was all that tacky, but It seems one cured and still made me wonder if it was done or not.
Next time I am by any vendors I will pickup the knot sense. Trying to offset the learning curve, this uv glue is some neat stuff. The better half would like the cost of the learning curve to a minimum I just cant figure out why she would get frustrated I have only purchused fly materials every month, bought a peak vise and salwater jaws, canoe, 5 fly rods and 3 fly reels and line and a glock 26, just cant figure it out :biggrin Thanks skip no need to waste any materials on my account.
I know how you fell as I have kind of the same problem, don't know why she doesn't understand why I buy some of the things I have. I mean the huge stash of pipe tobacco, much ammo, new 1198 for the boat and all my supplies I buy for tying. Must be something in the water, LOL!
Its good to know I am not the only one in the dog house sometimes.I was starting to think it was just me.Quote:

Attachment 115267Skip I've been using clear goo for three years...love it just got an issue with the tacky-ness use Sally hanson to seal...here is a sample of a drop shot fly I did years ago!
Nice Fly Liftbite. I got the Loon first since I saw it first, but as soon as I saw the Clear Goo I bought some, but have not tried a couple of the ones I have because I just seem to keep reaching for the Tack Free and it seems fine.
Thanks!
