Hi all,

I don't have room for bulky stuff and like a simple approach anyway, so use hemastats instead of a turner for curing epoxy.

What I do is tie the fly, apply the 5 minute epoxy, and hand rotate them in the hemastats until they start to set up good, which acutally usually takes about 5 minutes. Once they are set up well enough to not sag, I set the hemastats (and the fly) down where the fly won't touch any thing until the next day.

I don't tie a lot of these, so the amount of time isn't a big deal to me.

At any rate, I wanted some more hemastats, and found a good deal on some on Ebay. (Seller Muddlerminnow49 had some that looked just right, he uses in his own vest so recommends them, and were at a nice price. However, there were a lot of others listed on Ebay too.)

The hemastats are a simple, cheap, and low tech approach that works for me.

Regards,

Gandolf
