I purchased one from Amazon several months ago,brilliant investment ,no more worries about batteries running out!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I have been very happy with it pal.

[@derickhannant9253]

Excellent again Lindsay. Relatively new to fly tying since lockdown but about to step into learning buzzer tying. This advice will, I’m sure, help me on my way. Tight lines. Derick.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Glad it was of use buddy.

Lindsay, that's excellent, beautiful finish, just ordered the lamp, thanks.

❤ your videos lindsay tks

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks 👍

[@bigiaindiamond]

Lamp looks like the perfect solution to the issues you addressed in video . Saw a video by Rhys Wadley where he mentions a mains lamp/torch but the ones I seen were silly money . Ordered via your link . Arrives tomorrow . Look forward to trying it

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Agreed saw some similar for silly money. I think you will be very pleased I am.

[@bigiaindiamond]

@@lindsayiflyfish Lamp arrived today, Tied up 4 buzzers when I came in from work to try it . I'm impressed . Cracking piece of kit for a very reasonable price

[@lindsayiflyfish]

@@bigiaindiamond Glad you like it, I am really pleased considering the price.

[@briandonald8606]

Thanks for video and new lamp and how you finish your buzzers. Will have to get one of these lamps and try again. At moment wife has banned me from using resin. Due to the problems I have had recently.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Brian, thats fair to be honest you should always put your well being first.

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Hi Lindsay purchased one of the lamps, i have other lighting options like a bug-bond torch and a laser pen etc, but as a hands free UV light its working out very well with me only having to rotate the fly in the vice. I looked at other similar lights. but you were talking £40-60. Cheers for the link Regards MD

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hi MD, over the moon with mine it was a great find.

[@raymondmichaellarkin6455]

Well done Lyndsay, one of the best-Ray Ex 3 Para

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Good man 👍

[@50Squirrel]

Great video….I’ll be getting that light!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Glad it was helpful 👍

[@daviethevaper]

and another one who went and bough that UV light , i did see the one Rhys Fishes suggested as a xmas gift idea , but £80 was a wee bit rich for my Scottish blood (specially as it just looked like a rebranded made in china item) and now again Lindsay you brought us all a bargain ( last time was them scissors from Italy , which i also bought )

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Davie you just have to add fly fishing to anything and you start paying a premium.

[@neilandrew961]

Great video again sir managed to get a bottle of solarize and love it if I am doing a good few buzzers I have one of the nail lamps i put all the buzzers in after giving them a quick zap with torch works a treat

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I did try that years ago and as you say it does work. The one I had was only cheap and it broke.

[@fliesbychris]

Perfect!! I still haven't found anything better than solarez, definitely the best on the market. 2 coats of solarez and 1 coat of Sally diamond hard for me. Crackin vid Lindsay, it's difficult to get a good smooth finish on a buzzer when you start tying, cheers for pointing me in the right direction!! 👍

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Good stuff! The coat of super glue before you start makes a difference IMHO.

[@peterbagshawe2534]

Tried the superglue, does seem to work to seal. Thanks for the tip and great video.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

You're welcome!

[@eddieahara6605]

Lamp already ordered 😊

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hope you like it!

[@michaelshaw8370]

I think we all have had horror stories with varnish bottles knocking an open bottles over ruining a favourite cape or a unnoticed crack in a lid causing a leak. Sally Hansen has some uses as do the old fashioned styles of varnish. Mainly reduced to backup duty when UV resin is in short supply. UV is certainly the way of the future. Yes you could knock over a bottle, drop it, or only the once accidentally forget to fail to turn off the UV lamp while applying that second or final coat. Even with resin if doing a batch a small rotary device could have you drying a dozen buzzers at once. To each their own. As for subscribers it will take time to get there, but you totally deserve to reach and exceed the one hundred thousand mark. That award would look great over your bench.

I live in hope Mick.👍

Great video, as always. Would you mind sharing what vice you are using? Or if you could recommend a similar one? (I'm using one from a Veniard starter kit and omg it's bad... really, really bad)

Hi Martin, I am using the FNF Talon I have been very pleased with it 👍

[@marcinsobolewski5285]

@@lindsayiflyfish thank you, much appreciated

[@JoeBillingsley]

Great video as always, Lindsay. Why do you put super glue on before the resin? Joe

[@lindsayiflyfish]

There are a couple of reasons Gary. I think the super glue seals the fly better before adding the resin. Super glue is much cheaper than resin so you save a bit there. Hope that helps Joe.

Many thanks for posting the video’s……..Very informative. Have never used uv resin but fancy trying it out. Can you please repost the link to the Amazon UV Lamp. Many thanks..👍👍👍

[@robsmith8024]

Hi Lindsay, great content as ever & I’ll be ordering the UV light. I have an ask, you could be the 1st and hopefully the other tiers on KZbin will follow suit - can you explain at the outset why you use a certain thread for certain patterns (don’t mean size) most vids start off with “today I’m using uni thread, semperfli, UTC, textreame etc but nobody ever explains why. Cheers

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hi Rob, many thanks I will try to remember It is usually two reasons colour and strength.

[@garymartin7623]

Hi lindsay. Is there a reason you put superglue on before the uv resin and not just use uv resin from the beginning. I use uv resin the seal with varnish. I was just wondering if there was an added benefit to the way you do it.

[@robertfrancisco1193]

do you find using uv resin on some flys to help keep them lasting longer. n

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Yes on certain flies it can extend their lives.

[@Loyalist-ul6qm]

I use the wife's nail uv nails light it work's a treat.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Great stuff, if it’s not broken then don’t fix it 👍

[@robertalp3878]

Like the lamp, Lindsay, do you have to avoid any exposure to your skin? Cheers

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I would always advise to minimize contact with the skin and avoid your eyes always.

[@keithmarshall8478]

You didn't mention how long the lead is on the light as sometimes you can't always have the fly tying desk next to a plug socket

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hi Keith, I think the cable is around 3' from the top of my head but the exact measurements will be on the link in the description.

[@Ayrshirechap]

Chironomid is not pronounced chromonoid just saying could be misleading to novice anglers

Will work on that👍
