This stuff dries crystal-clear, almost like the clear lego bricks if you have a kid that uses them. Totally tack-free, which is what sets it apart from the competitors. Also, it is hard and sets up with just a 5 to 7 second "hit" with the UV torch / flashlight. If it gums up on you, the package says simply loosen the cap, pop in the microwave for 10 seconds, recap and shake, and you're good to go - I was a doubter, but can attest that it works and makes it just like new! The only reason it would gum up is due to storage in colder temps than recommended - like a basement in the winter, or such. The product is amazing, and I'm thrilled that JStockard is carrying it. Easily my favorite UV cure glue, and at the fly shows, this is on roughly half of the tyers' benches, which says a lot considering the variety of flies and even fly types (dries, nymphs, wets, streamers, full-dress salmon, spey and dee, etc.) that were tied at this most recent show I was just at. While I prefer the purple/blue bottle for copper johns, I reach for this bone dry ultra thin for most other applications, and most other tiers tend to have this variety on their benches at the shows.
These Solarez products work well. A previous review that was 5-Star in words forgot to hit the star icons properly, so the average reviews appear mediocre; this review will help put the average star-rating closer to where it should be.
I have been using Solarez from the tubes for some time. I just bought the bottle with the applicator brush and it makes it so much easier to apply. The brush allows me to use it on all sizes of flies. It makes great glossy heads for Steelhead and Salmon flies. It secures the head on small dry and wet flies. Great for wing cases and hard backed nymphs.
After seeing countless flytying videos were guys would use this stuff, I had to get some for my self. And let me tell ya, this stuff is great! I use it on almost every fly I make. Now keep in mind that it is very THIN, so it will almost immediately soak into whatever you are applying it to. So making heads or wing cases would require something a little thicker. But for EVERYTHING else, it works great!
