UV resin?

[FurFlyin]

I bought glue and light at Hobby Lobby. It was on a half price sale. It's big bottle of glue. Don't forget to put the top back on it. Don't ask me how I know. LOL The light I got isn't great, it is powered by a USB cable, but it works okay. I just have to have my laptop handy to plug it in. So I watch Richard Gene the fishing machine and tie jigs. This light cures this glue in 2 seconds or so. I've never timed it, but it's almost instant.

Archery guys like myself use an accelerator spray to set glue up fAst if that’s what your looking for...makes it super hard too...I. Believe it’s called steel force and accellerator fletching Steel Force Glue Accelerator - Walmart.com - Walmart.com

Thanks. I haven't heard of that being used for UV resin. I'm familiar with it for archery though.

Does that stuff work on UV? I looked at the listing, but didn't see anything about UV Glue and not really familiar with Beyond Bond Glue?

I don't think the accelerator would work on uv resin. I did order some Loon thin resin to start with, and the Northland light. If it works, I want to try the colored resin and use it for hot spots on flies and lures. Thanks for all the input fellows.

Mainly any kind of superglue....or fletching glues

The best I used was Clear Cure, but that guy had another business with the government that took his time so he quit making he UV Glue. Now as I understand it the maybe some thing Solarez would be one of the best to try. Lots of options. I would have to ask them if any of their line cure tacky and are any not tacky after cured.

I do see a need for both thick and thin, but each person need to decide what they want.

Anyone have suggestions for economical UV resin and lights? I'd like to try it, but not sure how much I will incorporate it into my jigs and flies.

This is what I ended up with and it works fine:

That does look doable. Thanks.

Received the Northland Glo Buster light and the Loon thin UV Resin. Worked great! The thin is not runny, and a brush and two applicator tubes are included. The light hardened the resin quickly. I did not notice any odor or tackiness.
