ING Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Zip and Zap is working great but it's irritating my eyes and not so cheap. There are some substitutions except nail polish? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ING Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Sorry, guys, I've already asked that question in 2013 and get good answers. Just Alzheimer - I had long interruption in bucktail making and forget it. Edited May 6, 2015 by ING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimP Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 UV cure is as good as it gets. Almost instant cure and the "Loon" products that I'm familiar with have no odor at all. It is not cheap and you will need a UV light as well but it does go a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Minwax polycrylic gloss clear coat. I do bucktail teasers on hooks, and tye bucktail jigs.....use it on both. The jigs get coated from wraps to tip of jig, 2 coats brushed on. Don't over do the second coat, it can run easier from the smooth 1st coat. I wanted to go UV, I can get it for free at work......but the stuff we have stinks big time. Use it to coat the covers of catalog covers we print.

jcool3 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I use aquaseal uv urethane adhesive. It cure in seconds with uv flashlight or sun. Little cheaper than loon. Good for coating outside threads. Absolutely no odor. Edited May 31, 2015 by jcool3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ING Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Is it required a powerful uv light? There are flashlights with 9 LED, 15 LED, 21 LED etc... Any recommendation? Thank you Edited June 2, 2015 by ING Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimP Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I have just started using UV products in the past couple of months. And they are great. For lights I have tried two different models. There are power differences in the lamps. First ($60.00) - CCG's top of the line lamp, great tool. Cures in seconds, quality built, and eats expensive C123 batteries. Still love the light. Second ($10.00) - Walmart, don't recall name. Its cheap built and looks cheap. The switch works about half of the time. but it still cures at almost but not quite the same rate. The Walmart light also eats batteries but they are the cheaper and available everywhere AAA's. As an expiriment I was able to hard wire the Walmart light to a 5 volt AC/DC adapter and it works like a charm. My next move is to also mod the CCG lamp. Hope this helps, Jim P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
