Glue recommendations

[HermanyorFlorida]

Hello All,

I tied some streamers a few uh... months ago at the Tie One On event in Leesburg, VA. I didn't get any glue for finishing the heads, so I haven't fished them at all. Looking for recommendations on a glue to do this and also to cover up the nick in the shell on one of my floating lines.

Thanks!

UV adhesives are expensive. For most fly heads Sally Hansen Hard As Nails nail polish will do the trick. Thin out the fibers of the brush in the bottle so you can avoid slopping too much polish around. It's easier to apply with a smaller brush. Plus you can thin it with acetone (which is what nail polish thinner is).

I picked up some of this stuff a couple of years ago. It's a little smelly, but picky bonefish and carp don't seem to mind. It's a fraction of what the fly shops charge and the stuff seems to be about the same. A little tacky when it dries, so hit it with some hand sanitizer and a q-tip.

I use Solarez Ultra Thin for just about everything. Not having many brain cells to spare, I stay away from the noxious fumes of fingernail products when I can.
