We offer three thicknesses of UV resin: Thick, Thin, and Flow. Which one is right for you will depend on what you want to do with it. Here are some general guidelines for when to use each:
UV CLEAR FLY FINISH THICK
Thick has a similar thickness to honey. It's great for building very quickly, so use it when you want to add mass (coating big heads, large wing cases, or big intruder bodies).
UV CLEAR FLY FINISH THIN
Thin has a similar thickness to warm syrup. It's great for when you want to coat a thread head to give it a “glassy” look, build a small wing case, coat a small baitfish head, or coat a body. It won’t build as quickly as THICK, and won’t soak into thread wraps like FLOW. While it isn’t as specialized as either, it is more versatile.
UV CLEAR FLY FINISH FLOW
Flow has a similar thickness to water. It's great when you want your UV resin to disappear. It will soak into thread wraps and is perfect as a head cement replacement. It works perfectly for coating bodies when you want to add minimal mass.
UV COLORED FLY FINISH
Colored Fly Finish is the same as UV Thin (from above) but contains color. The “Hot” colors are perfect for adding hot spots and trigger points, providing a subtle glow. Lighter colors offer a life-like translucence, presenting the opportunity to build flies with a depth that couldn’t be achieved otherwise.
FLUORESCING UV CLEAR FLY FINISH
Fluorescing Fly Finish is the same as Flow (from above) but adds a fluorescing feature. At depths as shallow as a few feet, even bright flies can appear dull and disappear into the background in the dark underwater world. Fluorescing UV Clear Fly Finish takes the UV light that is available underwater and reflects it as a color more visible to fish.
