Castwell asked: "Will the stuff work well for building up the big heads (with doll eyes) on saltwater streamers. Does it dull up in use or will covering it with SH keep it clear?"

This FOTW was tied using UV Knot Sense (UVKS)for the head. It is on an 8/0 Hook, so I'll call that a big head!

I do use SHHAN on the UVKS. So far so good in the Salt and fresh.

Also, I use a 5 Watt UV curing flashlight and wear UV filtering orange goggles when at the bench curing this stuff.

Also-there is practically zero waste using UVKS-so it is not expensive considering that it saves a bunch of my time. No stirr sticks and mixing pads as waste either. Win/Win.

There is a new UV system being introduced by Bob Pop and a Dentist. Comes with two coatings and a ac/dc UV lamp and UV shield. Saw it in a FF Magazine..
