Fly Dressing pro tip: How to make perfect UV heads every time - Niklaus Bauer

[@alexACR3167]

Very good instruction. One comment though and you probably already know this.... but using a UV light with resins can be tricky. It doesn't take very long to cure qaulity resins and all too often I see individuals holding the light for long periods over the resin. UV resin thermally out gasses and if too much heat is applied you can actually fry the resin and it will discolor. Rather then holding the light for long periods, it is always good practice to shorten the light curing times. I have done tests on UV resins and realized through trial and error that if a fly designer wants crystal clear results then shorter drying times with the UV light is the way to go. I just found your channel and have subscribed. Being new to your channel I don't know your location so I assume it is not the USA. I have several friends in Denmark and Austria that tie flys and have learned a great deal from them. I fresh water fish in the USA in Alabama and although I don't fly fish much, I still learn techniques from dividuals like yourself. I primarily tie smallmouth and crappie jigs and also striper jigs. Anyway, thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Look forward to watching your videos and going back and catching up on the old ones. Take care...God bless and tight lines.

I realy love how Niklaus does explain it how to ty the Flys and juse the diferent Materials! Nice Clip Man 👍🏻 Greatings from Germany🤙🏼✌🏼

Hell yeah more Fly-Dressing videos! Nice one Niklaus. The big plus for epoxy nowadays is especially the price point. UV resin is really expensive compared to a big bottle of epoxy, other than that i prefer to go with a UV resin, its just more comfortable to work with.

Love those Fly-Dressing videos! Please more!

[@esjovold6572]

Great video. I’ve always struggled with air bubbles in my resin heads. Never thought of keeping the bottles upside down. Thanks.

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

you can also light á lighter close ( but be careful!!) close to the head and that will "suck out the airbubbles".

[@cgcalhoun1936]

It looks like you’re using Gulff resin. I’ve never tried it, but really like the viscosity of that Thin Man. I’ve been using Loon Flow, but find it can really soak into the materials and run. Great video.

[@frippeonthefly]

Awsome video!. Will take some of that knowledge and apply it to my tying. Grym viedo Mr.Bauer!

[@augustonthefly]

Best lamp is the one I have that plugs into the wall. Best 15 bucks I ever spent. No loss of curing. 100% every time.

[@etiennevallee235]

what is the name of that lamp for curing the resin.

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

what type of lamp is that??

[@augustonthefly]

Another great video! Thanks yall!

素晴らしい。参考になりました。

[@NDFlyFisher]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your methods.

[@VOGTLANDOUTDOORS]

HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 4,000 SUBSCRIBERS ??? YOUR CHANNEL IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!! I've got a novel, innovative approach to putting "big eyes" on large pike-type muskie-type (BASS-type) flies. You've just inspired me to prepare ANOTHER fly-tying video this weekend ! HOW DO YOU GET SUCH HIGH-QUALITY VIDEOS? WHAT does your VIDEO RECORDING (camera) SETUP LOOK LIKE? HOW about your MICROPHONE SETUP ? EVERYTHING about your videos is A++ Cheers, - Mark Vogt | VOGTLAND OUTDOORS

[@bigben2469]

Id love to see you make a resin blade and make a fly that is like a bucktail musky bait

[@boohoo210]

So do these resin heads affect action as well? Seems it would glide through the water with less friction and drag maybe making them turn harder in the pause?

[@MartinDoubek_ArnieX]

I have recently purchased UV resin and Hero UV light from Gulff, I wonder how many streamers like this you can make out of one resin package. Because it looks like massive amount is used for each piece.

[@dannyvasquez843]

Enjoyed the video. Where do you get the precision tips for your resins? I currently use Loon resins but not a big fan of the plastic tips.

[@niklausbauer8639]

Well i don’t think they are sold separately, they are included in the Gulff uv resin boxes

[@kenheard5693]

Nick you are a master. Can you give me a name brand of rechargeable tv light and also resin . Thanks

[@kokoschinski3950]

Thanks so much it really helped ne a lot as beginner.

[@etiennevallee235]

What is the square lamp you have? nice video !

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

have you tried using silicone ( like Gunnar Brammer does sometimes)?? I really like how it comes out but it takes ( ofcourse)á while to cure.

[@wojtekbaniewicz386]

Hei That head looks very nice… but one question, is that amount of glue is not making your fly go to jigg action?

[@rlwkirsch]

Great video. One comment - UV Resin is not a good adhesive, so eyes need to be covered over with resin to be secured.

[@paddelnisse]

Epoxy to Sculping heads or?

[@niklausbauer8639]

For securing them, so yes.

[@adinatea_flyfishing-flytying]

Cool👍🎣🤘

[@RoryLynott]

Glue Flies. Sure, why not.

[@markinnis8404]

Awesome bro!

[@am12band18]

Where do you get those caps with the metal needles.

[@am12band18]

I can find Thinman resin. Who makes those products.
