Cementing Heads

Recommended Posts

I use both Sally Hansen and FlexCoat as finish on the flies I tie. But all of that's after the super glue treatment and I can testify that every time I "re-cycle" any fly or jig built this way, I need a sharp edge razor and a bit of work.... Whether it's just replacing a wire weedguard, or replacing an entire body or collar anything super glued in place is there permanently until you use a cutter. A mackeral or shark may shred the materials but the remainder is still attached to the hook (if I can get my hook back).

I use spur varnish that is fairly thing. It take a long time to dry, but it soaks in to the core of the head binding all the fibers. After that I use black lacquer. Very few problems and it is how it has been done for over 100 years for a reason.
