What is Solarez UV resin used for in fishing?
Solarez UV resin is primarily used in fly tying to create durable, glossy finishes on fly heads, wing cases, and bodies. It's also used for coating thread wraps, building up bodies on streamers, and repairing flies and lures in the field.
How does Solarez UV resin cure?
Solarez cures in seconds when exposed to UV light (sunlight or a UV torch). It remains workable indefinitely until you expose it to UV, giving you unlimited working time to perfect your application before curing.
What is the difference between Solarez Thin, Medium, and Thick formulas?
Solarez Thin (Bone Dry) penetrates thread wraps and creates thin coats. Medium Hard is ideal for building small bodies, wing cases, and heads. Thick Hard holds its shape for building robust heads and eyes on streamers and saltwater flies. The Flex formula offers a durable, flexible finish.
