UV varnish for fly tying

Fly glues that cures exactly when you want them to

Fly glues that cure with UV light have made fly tying much easier. These UV glues come in a range of different consistencies and colours, so you can find the right fly glue for every application and fly pattern imaginable. The fly glue remains liquid until it is exposed to UV light. This can be a special UV lamp but be aware that UV glues also harden in direct sunlight. You should keep this in mind when choosing the right place for your tying table. Due to these special properties, you can apply the glue to your fly pattern at your leisure until the result is exactly what you want. The fast curing also means that nothing can run. To achieve a perfect result, when you want to put on more glue, you should applicate it in more single layers, and cure every layer completely before applying the next layer.

The UV resin X-STRONG by hotfly is available in both transparent and coloured versions. The clear version of this resin is ideal for sealing the bodies of your artificial flies and making them more durable. With the coloured versions you can also add colour to your imitations in the same process, for example if you want to create hotspots on Perdigon nymphs or realise streamer heads and the like. The UV resin X-STRONG forms an extremely hard and very durable coating in just a few moments as soon as you irradiate it with a UV lamp and thus cure it. The brush integrated in the cap makes it easy to apply the resin. With its rather fluid consistency, it is also easy to apply in precise doses. If you want to make thicker applications, we recommend that you apply the UV resin X-STRONG in several layers and cure each layer separately. To achieve a homogeneous colouring, shake the resin well before use.

The UV resin X-STRONG UV REFLECTING by hotfly is a transparent resin that reflects the incident UV light very well. This is particularly interesting because fish can perceive a broader spectrum of light than humans and can also see in the ultraviolet range. So, with the UV resin X-STRONG UV REFLECTING you can not only seal the bodies of your artificial flies and make them more durable. At the same time, you make them more visible to the fish and increase the chance of a bite. The UV resin X-STRONG UV REFLECTING forms an extremely hard and very durable coating in just a few moments as soon as you irradiate it with a UV lamp and thus cure it. The brush integrated in the cap makes it easy to apply the resin. If you want to make thicker applications, we recommend that you apply the UV resin X-STRONG UV REFLECTING in several layers and cure each layer separately.

The UV RESIN SUPER TAG from laser is ideal for all fly tyers who are looking for a thick UV glue that does not drip and runs too quickly. This means you can apply the UV glue at your leisure and don't have to continuously turn the fly on its axis while you cure it with the UV lamp. Compared to the UV glue Fast from the same manufacturer, this UV RESIN SUPER TAG is about 4 times thicker. This means that this UV glue can also be modelled and shaped up to a certain point, for example with the help of a bodkin. However, we recommend that you do not apply too thick glue layers in order to achieve good curing. UV RESIN SUPER TAG is available in red and black in 5 gram bottles.

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.
