    First let me say to you guys Rob is a great fly tier and has been doing it for some time.
    Secondly, let me say- Rob – hurry and get a substitute figured out so you can get my salt water flies tied this weekend with Bret 😉

    The  UV stuff made by loon is pretty good for heads, i know several top notch tiers that use the stuff…

    +1 for the Loon products.

    its also good as a precursor to epoxy, some materials “fan out” when you use epoxy on them, however if you build the head with loon first, then put epoxy over it, the problem is solved.
