Epoxy Alternatives - For many years fly tier options in the arena of bonding agents for soft and hard bodied flies were pretty much limited to epoxy, silicone, Softex, and even water based Hard Head. In 2005 the game changed with the arrival of Tuffleye. A light cured, quick drying adhesive, using a clear acrylic resin. It was fast, easy, didn't yellow or crack, and offer a whole new way of constructing flies. Now we've got UV Knot Sense, Clear Cure Goo, Tuffleye, Bug Bond, Liquid Fusion , and probably more to come. What should you use? What are their limitations? What seems to be the future with these products? What's it going to cost me to drop epoxy and what's the ongoing expense. The answer to these and other perplexing questions about the universe will be forever resolved by Paul Prentiss. |
