It works great for that, I like to finish whips on my wind-ons with it as well, nice and neat and very pliable...

Check your Hardwares stores for a Product called UV BOND, same product and a lot cheaper. I use it to finish my plaits and biminis

Good form that man! I'll check out Builders W this afternoon!

Thanks guys, BUT, east London is in the dark ages and there is only 1 fly shop and they dont have and the usual tackle shop also doesnt have, hence wanting to get from a hard ware store, but we are so backward int he eastern cape that even they havnt heard of it.

Thanks Reefman. Fritz has already said he will have a look for me and will send it to me. if he doesnt come right, i will take you up on that.

The longer I stay here in UA, the more I cant believe the lengths guys who dont know others will go to help them out. It says a lot about all your characters. hopefully one day I can help some of you out in return.

Had a look at kings today and the glue is R56-00 and the light I could not find they where out but I paid just over R100-00 for mine. Here is a photo of the glue and the light.

I can get that same key chain uv light for R60.

Thanks a mill Fritz, you're a champion!! Look forward to getting mine!

If you are makin your own wind on leaders this is an awsome product to use ofer the floss, braid, nylon, or what ever you use to finish off your wind on. I have been using this and it makes the world of diffrence with even wind ons going thorough eyes. There is no edge at all.

This is a very interesting product. Being in the glass industry, we too use a uv glue to bond glass to metal with a break strength of +- 25 N/mm2 .

@ Bennie - not all uv lamps are the same. The UVA reading is what is NB. In the glass industry we use a UVA wave length of 315-400 to do our bonding.

I have a point for you all to think about...

If a glue is set with UVA, it will just as easily reverse itself if exposed to the sun. Well that is the case in the UV glue we use in the glass industry. Expose it to the sun and the bond WILL fail.

Not good news...but I think UV knot sense does not work like that ????

Its not the same stuff we use, fly fisherman use the stuff on their flies and I have never had it melt down again.
