 Dear FTF Member,Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will |

I use clear frabric paint instead, might take longer to dry but you don't need a wheel or expensive light. the (gelles) is soft when dry and fish seem to hold on to fly a lot longer. doesnt fade and is great for the salt too. And they come in lots of colors too...

I bought some of this stuff last year and I haven't made up my mind if I like it or not. The material is easy to work with and polymerization is fast with the blue light. But the surface remains tacky. After wiping, the surface looks smeared and frosted. The distributors point out that this disappears when the material is wet, so it makes no difference to the fish. But it bothers me to have nasty-looking flies in my flybox. (It is also recommended to coat the wiped surface with Sally H or similar cement.)
You may also want to look into a new product called Bug Bond created by David Edwards in GB. I have just received mine and haven't had a chance to try it yet. It reputedly lacks the surface problems.
Good luck.
