The clear acrylic is cured with visible blue NON UV light and a clear top coat defeats the problematic tacky residue...
I LOVE THIS STUFF!

Tuffleye FLEX... playin' around in the UV PHREE zone...
The forums are very quiet
The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

A DarkOpsDualTubePhly...
I've blended some long black hackles with Midnight "Devil 'n Blend" then finished the body with segments of splayed buck tail to enhance the wide-body profile...
The 3D eyez were spot welded in place over the lower "junction tube" along with 3 wide black hackles, buck tail chin, and peacock herl to finish the profile...

'sparsely applied over porous mylar tubing... 'slightly negative ballast for a slow sinking sensation...
