{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Glue recommendations

I picked up some of this stuff a couple of years ago. It's a little smelly, but picky bonefish and carp don't seem to mind. It's a fraction of what the fly shops charge and the stuff seems to be about the same. A little tacky when it dries, so hit it with some hand sanitizer and a q-tip. https://www.amazon.com/Riverruns-Formula-Building-Special-Introductory/dp/B01N4N8OIZ/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=GT9BXDJ0UL7Q&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wnNxCMwmH0pwTeKuilwM7KAp2F4uj_XdGiVkifSHuruCygRXqB7MWvb2qkkch2N3svSDyrw6VaxADeRHZS9Wu9oBZtxNBiFqZjhEactAIptbOjz9vLB2dFlhdtJRiW9QyHBjEsnTLbjmhkm0pKUGc0JQSVMmIXZNgwLyFf4pqNpbXEipc-3SLzdfEIrkh00JwtkU2k2ukgHmzJmiDdTwo2UtuH4EPMHRWJwhPLXRNzpw_hmHI-79tIt62MbITJBWCM_BBiAbG9L23EEyu9WXz7it-I2YimCz4bcCkdqmqvI.aR1GIXIjiN4sO3JyJehI2KNIqIDlq1rdeD1yl5s7SCU&dib_tag=se&keywords=uv+glue+fly+tying&qid=1734127759&sprefix=uv+glue+fly+tying%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1On...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Glue recommendations

UV adhesives are expensive. For most fly heads Sally Hansen Hard As Nails nail polish will do the trick. Thin out the fibers of the brush in the bottle so you can avoid slopping too much polish around. It's easier to apply with a smaller brush. Plus you can thin it with acetone (which is what nail polish thinner is). MarkOn Thursday, December 12, 2024 at 6:09:41 PM UTC-5 HermanyorFlorida wrote:Hello All,I tied some streamers a...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Glue recommendations

Hello All,I tied some streamers a few uh... months ago at the Tie One On event in Leesburg, VA. I didn't get any glue for finishing the heads, so I haven't fished them at all.

I was using my lightweight 6wt, and we got several good jumps before bringing him to net. Other 2 days we caught huge numbers of peacock bass in the freshwater canals between Miami and...
