UV cure glue

[Fishguy86]

Does anyone have experience with using UV cure glue? Trying to figure out if it is worth it or not!

Depends on what you want to do with it really. If it's for the right kind of things it's great, but if it's to use as something to add a drop of glue to your chenille jig, then no. I have a couple different brands and types of UV Glue, but the good lights are expensive as is the glue it self.

So like I said, depends on what you want to do with it?

What are you wanting to use the glue for?
As Skip said, wouldn't be good for jigs, IMHO.
I use lots of it at work, by the gallon.

I also tie flys and was thinking about using it on tying crappie and bass flys for like putting on the heads and eyes.

I also tie flys and use it for things like making the carapace on the back of scuds. I buy my glue at Michael's in the jewelry making section and I got my hand-held light off Ebay. If you buy your glue from a Fly Shop you can get some that sets up hard like mine or sets up soft like rubber. Stuff from the Fly Shop is expensive though. Like every body else - depends what you want to do with it.

I used it on something I came up with a few years back and these did work. I called them In-Line Spinners. I used some color fly tying powder to color the UV Glue and then used it to make these. I probably should make more since I have the Propellers and all the stuff to make them, lol!
