UV Resin & Lights FAQ

Q: What is UV resin used for in fly tying?
A: UV resin is a clear, fast-curing adhesive used to coat, shape, or secure materials on a fly. It replaces traditional epoxy, allowing tiers to build glossy heads, durable bodies, or coat wing cases and streamers with ease.

Q: How does UV resin work?
A: The resin remains liquid until it’s exposed to UV light. Once illuminated by a UV curing light, it hardens in seconds, creating a durable, glass-like finish that’s waterproof and resistant to cracking.

Q: What types of UV resin are available?
A: There are typically three main types: Thin (for coating small flies and thread heads), Medium (for shaping bodies), and Thick (for building up larger profiles or filling gaps). Some brands also offer colored or flexible formulas.

Q: Do I need a special UV light to cure the resin?
A: Yes. UV resins require a UV light source—preferably one designed for fly tying—to ensure fast and complete curing. Standard sunlight can work in a pinch but is less consistent.

Q: How long does UV resin take to cure?
A: Most quality UV resins cure fully in 5–10 seconds under a strong UV LED light. Longer curing or uneven light may leave a slightly tacky surface.

Q: Why is my cured resin still tacky?
A: A tacky surface means incomplete curing. Try using a more powerful UV light or applying resin in thinner layers. Some tiers also wipe finished flies with alcohol or apply a finishing coat to remove any residual tackiness.

Q: Are UV resins toxic or safe to use indoors?
A: Modern fly-tying resins from brands like Loon Outdoors, Solarez, and Hareline are low-odor and safe for indoor use with proper ventilation. Avoid direct skin contact and follow label instructions.

Q: Why carry UV resin and lights at Drift Outfitters?
A: Because they’re game-changing materials for modern fly tying. UV resin speeds up tying, increases durability, and adds professional finish quality to every fly you tie.
