The Epoxy Alternative

no mixing ~ no waste ~ time to manipulate ~ stronger ~ no yellowing!

Let’s Create a Scud

Lay down a thread base, secure lead weight, & wire rib

Make a dubbing loop (or hand-twist) & dub the fur (or substitute) to just short of the hook eye

Wrap the copper rib & tie off at the eye – break rib off by bending it back and forth. Whip finish

Trim the dorsal surface smooth with fine scissors & brush or pick-out the fibers (legs)

Apply a small drop of Core to the dorsal surface, spread it in an even coat & cure with light.

Do not remove the slippery bonding layer. The Core won’t absorb into the fibers very deep.

Apply a small amount of Finish

Turn the fly upside down (creates a hump as the finish droops). Cure when desired shape is achieved

Remove the slippery bonding layer with paper towel and alcohol

Apply a coat of Hard as Nails if a gloss finishis desired
