See, I knew I would get a wealth of information here. I do see your point Buddy and I really don't want to abandon epoxy, it's just sometimes I don't like mixing a batch up when tying only a couple flies. I can understand where the benefit to some flies would be though.
I've heard a little about eggs too, and I'm wondering, are we talking about a gold bead like a BH? or are we talking a glass bead? Also, does quenching the eggs effect the color or clarity?

RE: Gold Bead. Yes like used on a BH fly. Glass could work too.
RE: Clarity post quench. I saw no difference when using the clear mini sticks.

I too use a glue gun to create bodies on zonkers, then cover them with pearl or silver mylar.
Heres one similar to give you an idea of the effect that you can obtain.
