Good for specific applications

Reviewer: A viewer from NJ US

This stuff is great for its intended purpose, which is not head cement. There are far better products for that. The best being Celire by Veniard. Softex is great for coating turkey tail quills before use so they are easier to work with. Also great for coating over big hair wing style streamers so they hold their shape. But still not the best for head cement.

Nice Product!!!

Reviewer: A viewer from Deer Park, NY US

So far this is the best head cement I have used! Excellent for saltwater flies and teasers! Leaves a nice smooth, clear but flexible finish!

Glow baits

Reviewer: A viewer from Mishawaka,IN

It does make a hard plastic like finish if you blend it with V10 Glow Powder....I use it to make Glow fleas for ice fishing.

flexible finish

Reviewer: A viewer from Bridgeville, PA US

I like the soft feel this coating has. It makes baitfish flies look and feel real. It dries with a nice shine to it and sets quickly without running or dripping. Very easy to use.

Great for some purposes

Reviewer: A viewer from Pittsburgh, PA US

This product is a great replacement for epoxy and produces a very even finish. I prefer other products (such as loon hard head) for normal head cement, but for any flies that need a large coating (clouser, thunder creek Shiners, etc etc.) this is definitely the way to go.
