Solarez Thick Formula is a good choice for layering and coating materials. We typically like using the thick formula on smaller flies when building up bodies. Glows intensely at night, especially if irradiated with an UV lightfor a couple of seconds. Glow will make your fly stand out and night and lasts several minutes.
Usage tip:
Apply in the shade. Irradiate with intense UV light for ONE SECOND. Wait 15 seconds. Irradiate again for one second. Wait. Complete with 30 full seconds of UV light. This technique will reduce heat & shrinkage. If you want to reduce viscosity, simply heat the resin in the bottle in a microwave for a few seconds (depending on wattage). Conversely, if you desire a thicker yet resin, store the bottle in the refrigerator for an hour or so
Solarez comes in:
Thin-Hard for coatings on large head thread wraps, poppers and anywhere you want the resin to coat and soak into the materials or thread.
Thick-Hardis a very viscous formulawhen you you want to build up heads or bodies. The viscous formula is easier to work with and shape before hitting with the UV light.
FLEXwill give you a flexible finish for use with things like soft popper bodies to give a nice finish or to seal in paint and markings on a flexible body. This formula also can be used to smooth out knots on leaders and line to help going through the guides. FLEX is also a viscous formula so it is easy to work with.
GLOW IN THE DARK is a viscous formula that can be charged with a light to glow in the dark. Put a spot on Hex flies to help see them at night or use on poppers and streamers for night fishing.
Bone-Drycomes in a in a Plus and Ultra-Thin formula as well as colored variations. Perfect for things such as wing casings on smaller nymphs or covering quills bodies on dry flies, as well as covering up thread wraps to finish off a fly.
