Grasping a fly tip

In reading the link in the TranspANT fly post it it is recommended to continually rotate the fly so the 5 minute epoxy can cure smoothly. That sort of time drives me nuts so though I have mentioned this tip before I thought I would do it again. The pictures should be self explanatory and the pencil can be mounted in foam on a turning motor. I use this method when dealing with wet head cement…wet super glue…etc…fingers don’t get involved that way.

Let’s hear of any other suggestions you may have…and yes those are erasers on golf score pencils:p

As a child of the digital age, what’s this pencil thing you speak of?

Good tip, thank you, Dave

I use UV cured Acrylic instead of epoxy now.

To allow Sally Hansens or head cement to cure, I grab the hook eye and put the fly in a slit in craft foam. Kind of like the fly box foam without the box.

I made up something similar with some 3/8" thick hard foam I had laying around. Cut them into strips then glued them done on a small old cutting board then hook my flies into foam when I need them to sit for awhile and dry with paint, epoxy, etc. Usually sit in front of a small desk fan I use.
