Bimini15 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2018 So... I have been tying some biggish head flies recently, and I am wondering if diluted Liquid Fusion (clear) would be a good alternative to UV (expensive) and Tear Mender (white residue). Has anyone diluted LF, or know how to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2018 from the internet Liquid Fusion thins with water, and you can make it any consistency you like. Crystal Clear Liquid Fusion This is a water based, clear urethane glue that functions much like epoxy but does not require mixing, smell, or fear of gluing you scissors to the fly bench if you wait one minute too long. We use it to coat eyes, heads, and wing cases. It will stiffen materials like baitfish emulator or other wing or fly parts. Thinning with water allows for greater penetration on fly heads and wing cases. try making a small puddle on a paper plate and add a drop of water to thin it down. apply to the fly head or wherever be creative. experiment.

cphubert 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2018 Yes flytire is correct I have thinned it to glue organza wings and to keep it to workable consistency on the bench. Never thought about it for a head coating please post the results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike West 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2018 I do as flytire stated and use it to coat top water poppers(foam,cork & Balsawood) face of Deer hair poppers and streamer/baitfish heads. I think you will have to turn it like you would epoxy because its going to sag on you for your intended purpose unless you put it on really thin and build it up with many coats.
