# **How to Choose 10ml Fly Tying UV Resin Glue for Professional Fly Tying**
As an avid fly angler, selecting the right materials is crucial for creating durable and effective flies. One essential product in any fly tyer’s toolkit is **UV resin glue**, particularly the **10ml size**, which offers a perfect balance between convenience and longevity. If you’re considering **KyleBooker’s 10ml Fly Tying UV Resin Glue**, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision.
## **1. Understanding UV Resin Glue for Fly Tying**
UV resin glue is a specialized adhesive that cures instantly when exposed to UV light, creating a hard, clear, and waterproof finish. It’s widely used in fly tying to:
– **Seal thread wraps** for durability
– **Create realistic insect bodies** (e.g., epoxy flies, nymphs, and streamers)
– **Protect delicate materials** from wear and tear
A **10ml bottle** is ideal for frequent fly tyers—large enough to last multiple tying sessions but compact enough for easy storage.
## **2. Key Factors When Choosing a 10ml UV Resin Glue**
### **A. Viscosity (Thickness)**
– **Low viscosity (thin resin)**: Best for penetrating thread wraps and creating smooth, glossy finishes.
– **Medium viscosity**: Versatile for both sealing and building up bodies.
– **High viscosity (thick resin)**: Ideal for sculpting 3D effects on larger flies.
**KyleBooker’s 10ml UV Resin** offers a **medium viscosity**, making it suitable for most fly patterns while ensuring easy application.
### **B. Curing Speed & UV Light Compatibility**
– Some resins cure **instantly** (1-3 seconds), while others take longer (10-30 seconds).
– Ensure the resin works with standard **365nm or 395nm UV torches**.
– **KyleBooker’s resin** cures in **5-10 seconds**, providing enough working time for adjustments while ensuring a quick bond.
### **C. Clarity & Yellowing Resistance**
– High-quality UV resin remains **crystal clear** even after prolonged exposure to sunlight.
– Cheaper resins may turn **yellow or cloudy** over time, reducing fly aesthetics.
– **KyleBooker’s formula** is **non-yellowing**, maintaining transparency for long-lasting flies.
### **D. Flexibility & Durability**
– A slight **flexibility** prevents cracking when flies are bent or compressed.
– **Hard resins** are better for rigid bodies (e.g., beetle shells).
– **KyleBooker’s resin** strikes a balance—**durable yet slightly flexible** to withstand fish strikes.
### **E. Waterproof & Chemical Resistance**
– Must be **fully waterproof** to survive submersion.
– Should resist **fish slime, saltwater, and solvents** (if cleaning is needed).
– **KyleBooker’s product** is **100% waterproof** and chemically stable.
## **3. Why Choose KyleBooker’s 10ml Fly Tying UV Resin Glue?**

## **4. Application Tips for Best Results**
1. **Apply in thin layers** for faster curing.
2. **Use a UV torch at a 45° angle** to avoid shadows.
3. **Rotate the fly** while curing for even coverage.
4. **Store in a cool, dark place** to prolong shelf life.
