<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>I did a short post awhile back re patterns with a resin covered head and <a href="http://pikeflyfishingarticles.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Simon Graham </a>commented he was using a new product called Bug Bond. I came across posts at <span style="color:#ffff00;"><a href="http://deesox.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">DEESOX</a></span> and a <a href="http://ukswff.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=3030" target="_blank">UK Salt Water</a> forum, which again pointed to Bug Bond, a product created in the UK by David Edwards. I have not messed with two step epoxy&#8217;s and only used UV gels for covering the knots of the butt section/end of fly line. For those that want to provide that glistening, life like appearance this Bug Bond might be a simpler, more durable product. <a href="http://www.bug-bond.moonfruit.com/#/bug-bond/4537309415" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffff00;">BUG BOND.</span></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>I am not sure if Bug Bond is distributed in the U.S. I also wonder if anyone has experimented with <a href="http://www.loonoutdoors.com/uvcure.html" target="_blank">Loon UV Cure</a> (I have used for knots and wader repair) in fly tying (durability/clear?)</strong></p>
