Been reading alot about UV curing for expoxy sustitute. Found a interesting post on washington fly fishing comparing 4 different materials. One of the materials is a UV wader repair kit. Has anybody tried it?

Wasn't sure if a link could be posted.

My wife does these fake nails and uses this fancy UV dryer for her gel nails. I've been thinking of using some of that product for fly tying. The gel comes is a variety of flashy colors and the dryer is cool. Just have to wait for her to leave the house then, salmon flies here I come.

if she asks where all her nail stuff is going simply hold out your hands, show her your nails and tell her that you know nothing

I like the way you think.

While this isn't the exact dryer it looks something like this thing: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RMP7M6/ref=...ASIN=B001RMP7M6 You can put two hands at a time in the thing or two feet so I figure it will cure about a doz or more flies at a time and quickly. It has multiple fans and 4 or 5 different UV bulbs in the thing.

I thought I have mentioned this one...
clearcuregoo.com
It sets up fast, is cheap compared to tuffleye and is very easy to work with.

You can do some very cool stuff with it. And best of all this one really doesnt crack, shatter, or yellow plus zero waste.

If you want a very good, expensive light check with your dentist. He uses UV lights for bonding products on your teeth.

Dentists have now gone through at least two generations of UV lights. His first generation lights, which are probably more powerful than any that you would ever purchase, are probably just sitting in his attic.

I know 'cuz that's were my dentist was keeping his first generation lights.

When I asked my dentist if he would ever go back and put those lights back in service, he said "No." So, I asked for one... He gladly gave it to me!!

It works GREAT!

I like the control you have with it.
That there is zero waste.
its fast and doesnt wreak
No Mixing

Not that expensive for the amount of flies you get out of one syringe
