I love this shot. Was this taken with a polarized filter?

Norm,

Finding the wavelength for each compound is a lot of work! And I'm not even sure the manufacturers would want to tell us. They would most likely rather sell their own lamps than let us users find alternatives or "cross-product" lamps.

The alcohol in the hand sanitizer acts like pure alcohol and rubs off the sticky resin, but leaves the surface dull as described in the text.

I have read your article,which is very interesting,which I itend to try.But can you give me information and advice on"dyeing",I would like to try the fluorescent white,can you tell me where I get this dye,or what to use and how to use it,any information would be greatfully received,thanks. Yours, W M.

Well, surely a beautifull brown trout.
And for me it just proofes that the "Limay Circus" and its countless rafts right now are just disturbing. While catch and release is a state by law and those type spawners regulary caught multible times, I think you would better be off not to proof anything like this before! Because there will be someone unlike you to f... it up!!

Another magnificent spot in Southern Patagonia is Lake Strobel, also known as Jurassic Lake. This lake is in western Santa Cruz Province (70 km east of the Chilean border) and both the lake and the Barrancoso river that flows into it are home to enormous Rainbows. These gigantic trout can be caught in the Barrancoso river with dry flies. Difficult to get to, I know of two lodges that cater to anglers, Laguna Verde Lodge and the Loop organization that has a camp close to the Barrancoso river.

Other advantages:
No mixing
Does not smell like epoxy does (at least the Loon product doesn't)

About a year ago I started using Mr Bond. Mostly just on heads in place of varnish. It does set very hard. Before curing make sure the eye is clear as you will not get it clear after. However, I found that the end result was slightly tacky. If you touch it it will mat.

Now I use the Diamond hard kit with the laser to cure it. It is very fast to cure, one second, though the difference isn't really a factor. It does dry totally tack free, but not as hard as Mr Bond.

how about adding what the curing uv wavelength of each product is? this would hel in buying a light indipendently of the goos

alcohol wipes are good to remove the tackiness.

sally hansens hard as nails gets rid of any tackiness

not too sure how hand sanitizer adds anything to make the goos hard.

fresh batteries in all lights work best

Hi,

One addition here is Mr Bond! A very good LCR from the UK that I use all the time.

This is only €7 a bottle and it dries 100% clear and glass hard.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
