Fly tying glues & varnishes
Bonds all materials and protects your fly patterns
GLUVAR varnish from hotfly is semi-transparent and can be used both as a varnish and as a glue. It is water-resistant and does not damage the material underneath. It dries quickly and becomes hard and glassy when dry. The consistency of the varnish is quite liquid, but it can be made even more liquid by adding a bit of diluent (not included). Very suitable for closing knots and heads. It is advisable to keep the cans tightly closed, away from sunlight and heat sources.
GLUVAR MEDIUM premium lacquer from hotfly can be used both as a varnish and as a glue. Its consistency is medium, but you can easily make it more liquid by adding a little thinner (not included). With this lacquer you can easily seal the closure knot, or you can apply it on the back of your quill dry flies or on any synthetic material to make your artificial fly shiny and stronger. Incorporated into the cap is a practical applicator pin. We recommend storing the cans tightly closed, away from sunlight and heat sources.
GLUVAR THICK is the thickest of the hotfly lacquers and is therefore very easy to apply, thanks also to the practical applicator pin incorporated in the cap. It is mainly used to coat the bodies of chironomas, nymphs and perdigons. The final finish is glossy and does not dull even when exposed to sunlight. Once dry it becomes very hard and will make your artificial flies really durable. You can make the consistency more liquid by adding a little thinner (not included). The drying time is about 15 minutes but if you want to get the best result from GLUVAR THICK you should apply a second coat and let it dry for at least an hour. It is advisable to keep the cans tightly closed, away from sunlight and heat sources.
