Hey All, just started tying with Solarez UV resins, specifically as an epoxy head substitute and as a thin shine on the dirty worm. Used the Loon UV products last offseason, and I found that the epoxy heads kept peeling off. Just curious as I’m in the process of tying spring flies and I don’t want a couple dozen flies that I end up junking, how have you all found the product? Thanks!

For the winter doldrums.

I just picked up a Loon infinity UVlamp. Awesome lamp.

I find Solarez cures better than Loon... less tacky anyway. I'm not convinced it is any more durable though.

I am using a much better light than before and keeping the battery fresh. Hoping that was the problem last year and this will remedy it!

I haven't used Solarez, but I have had the same problem with Loon UV resin. That said, what are you using for a light source? I just picked up a better quality UV lamp this past week and it makes a world of difference. Specifically, I found in the past that the outside was mostly hard, but still had a bit of tackiness to it and the underside of the resin didn't seem fully cured. Now the tackiness is gone and the resin seems hard all the way through. I need to see how the new flies actually perform, but its something to keep in mind.
