THANK YOU, ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I'VE STARTED USING RESINS FROM HOBBY STORES AND FOUND THAT THEY ARE JUTS AS GOOD AS I BOUGTH FROM MY FLY SHOP !! GORD FROM CALGARY ALBERTA CANADA 🇨🇦
Exactly... I could not agree more! I buy the Chinese U.V. resin too. They harden tack free and I have had no failures. The fly fishing shops really treat us like we are all rich like Elon Musk!!😂😂😂😂 Another example, i just bought 100 - 18" ostrich drabs (feathers) from a feather merchant for .84 cents ea. The local retail fly shops wants $9.75 each for a 12" feather!!😂😂😂😂 come on man!!😂😂😂😂
Still use the OY WOOA UV Hard Resin from Amazon. Prices vary quite often but indeed I pay less than half of the price if I compare the same amount of resin from famous brands. A good light is necessary, that is true
Excellent video. Thanks! One of the ongoing controversies is that you need a light specific to the resin. For example, the light for Solarez resin doesn’t work with Loon resin. What is your experience with lights and different resins?
Thank you! I have not used many fly tying brand for lights and resins, my guess is that loon use a resin that cures with lower power , so their light isn’t powerful enough for a resin with a much higher curing nm The light I have in the video is 405nm and dries all resins I’ve tried so far. Cut cut the time of curing by adding an other , but 30mins and the resin is hard and not sticky to the touch. I always finish by hanging flies and lures by the window for a few days before use.
Well said Norbert. 👍
