I like the statement of non-tacky. I am a commercial tyer and do not do the quick cure UV stuff because of the tacky feel and have steered clear of epoxy because of yellowing. I wont put my name on stuff i don't believe in . Old school .

There are other UV products out there. I'm sure it's the same stuff under a different name.

Many thanks to the Moldychum squad for highlighting Bug-Bond... Cornelis is right he did see a demo at the Dutch Fly Fair and I'd like to confirm to Suckit that this is not a rebadged product that someone else is selling. This is developed soley with fly tying in mind... it will do rod rings as well and Tom Gorman who wrote pieces on fly fishing in Mongolia used it on his sailfish set ups braid to mono connections without failure.Do use the link on the website to have a look at the Facebook group... and many will know Simon Graham from Pikeflyfishingarticles blog... he's been using it since December... ask him what he thinks...

Simply this is the highest grade of UV cured material most folk are ever going to get their hands on... I know I can cast a sandeel pattern at a rock and it won't bust as it drops into the water.

Non-tacky, fast curing, flexible, non-yellowing (tested for a year!), optically perfect and solvent free! Who said it ain't a perfect world :D

Regards

David
