With Solarez UV COLOR glue, you can add a touch of colour to your artificial flies quickly and easily. It is applied very simply with the practical brush incorporated in the cap and once irradiated with the light of a UV flash light it dries in a few moments. You can choose from 10 different colours to tie perdigon or small streamer bodies, heads and small coloured spots. It is advisable to apply a little glue at a time, drying each time with a UV flash light. If you need to create thickness, we recommend that you use Solarez UV THIN HARD and then apply UV COLOR on top. All Solarez glues and varnishes bond perfectly together. In addition to the brush incorporated in the cap you will receive an additional applicator brush with a fine tip.

FROM SURFBOARDS TO FLY FISHING
In 1985, Wahoo International, known for its Solarez®, LifeSled® and Bullyboard® brands, started manufacturing surfboards and bodyboards. Using materials and methods considered 'unconventional', such as UV-curing resins, composite structures and vacuum techniques, the company embarked on new paths in this industry. Their innovative approach included the adoption of the UV-curing process, recognised for its cleanliness and effectiveness in field repairs, as well as its environmental and economic benefits.
In 1993, Wahoo International sought approval from the Surfrider Foundation for their revolutionary UV-curing resin 'Solarez', with the goal of drastically reducing VOC emissions in the surfboard industry. However, regardless of their efforts, Surfrider decided not to grant the endorsement, claiming that they could not approve a chemical product.
Despite this disappointment, the commitment to innovation and sustainability remained steadfast. Over the next few years, Wahoo International continued to expand its product range to include over 20 different formulas. These innovations have led to significant improvements in the production of a wide range of items, including sports equipment, furniture, musical instruments, fly fishing, jewellery, hobbies and crafts. The company has also been at the forefront of adopting emerging technologies such as 3D printing.
Even with the economic challenges in 2009, 2010 and 2011, Wahoo International continued to thrive in the global marketplace. Its reputation for product quality has been a key pillar in maintaining strong sales worldwide.
In 2012, being recognised with the SBA 'Exporter of the Year' award was an important milestone for Wahoo International. This award was a testament to the company's continued commitment to exporting and promoting its products across borders. The win was not only a recognition of the excellence of the services offered, but also a confirmation of the value and quality of Wahoo International's products in the international market.
The company expresses its deep gratitude to all its customers in some 36 countries, recognising that meeting their needs is a privilege and an honour.
