Solarez Bone Dry Clear

Bone Dry came chunky. Required 20 sec in the microwave (5 sec at a time) with shaking to liquify. Now works like a charm. Wets and seeps into thread easily. Cures to a hard non-sticky finish. The best resin for fly tying.

Great stuff, good price

Exactly as one would expect based on its name. This is an extraordinarily thin resin, and wicks into anything to which it's applied in a hurry. This is not the right choice for building up a wing case type of lump on a Copper John. But it's a fantastic choice to replace head cement with a tiny drop on the final whip finish on any fly. It immediately soaks into the thread, and becomes invisible, yet indestructible once zapped with a UV light. The bone dry part of the name is equally as true. There is no tack at all once zapped. Just keep this stuff out of the sun, even through your window at your tying desk, as it will start to harden in a big hurry in any sunlight.

The best ultra thin, ultra fast, ultra clear uv you can buy

I experimented with several different UV resins and even the Solarez UV resins and always found the others to leave a sticky finish. This dries bone dry to the touch and is exactly what I was looking for. The applicator brush is super small. Great when you're getting into a tight spot, not so great when you're coating a foam popper body. Its expensive for what you get, but it's the best UV resin IMO. If you need to build up, you can save by using another resin and curing it, then just use this for the top coat and it will leave the surface bone dry. It's also a great way to get rid of those old resins you may not want to use anymore.

It comes in just shy of $20 for 0.5oz - but it is completely worth it. Other products are too thick to use effectively as head cement, or are unable to clear as hard and smooth as this stuff. I've tied 100s of flies with one bottle, so you won't be running out soon. Low odor, dries fast, not tacky, strong, and looks clean. Completely replaced head cement, and can also make smooth and slick perdigons with ease. Complete game changer with fly tying. Can not recommend enough.

This is a thin, clear, fast hardening resin. Also perfect for putting a small ramp where a replaced tip-top meets the original wraps. It can enable a tiny juncture with a nice, slightly raised joint. If you feel you used too much or put it on where you didn't want to, just wipe it off and try again. No pressure. Wonderful. I use mostly for Perdigon flies. Again, perfect.

Finally decided to take the plunge and bought a cheap UV light which works great with this product. I never bought this product before because I did not have a UV light and didn't want to spend so much on the light and then the product, but now everything seems to work great. I always had problems in the past with head cement turning solid on me in between my occasional tying. Hoping now with this product that it will not turn solid on me. Time will tell, so 4 stars for now.

This product works very well when you uses the light to cure it , it dryers fast hard I would recommend this product to any fly tyer
