Martyn White Flicking Feathers Which brand and type of UV epoxy did you use on this video?
It looks like I was still using Loon , I've switched to Solarez since though as it's just as good or better but half the price.
Martyn White Flicking Feathers OK, thank you Martyn.
no problem!
All the best
Martyn
Hi Martyn, I didn't know you had your own TH-cam channel. Found out about it today at middleton. Long time no see! Last I seen you was the day we won Gold on Trawsfynydd. The day you won the brown bowl. Hope you are well mate. Take care, Garry Maclachlan. (yer team mate from long ago)
P. S yer flies look superb
Alright Gary! Good to hear from you man, the competition fishing seems like a life time ago. My fishing has changed a lot since then. How's life?
All good my end mate. I gave up the comps years ago myself. Just pleasure fishing the hills for wild trout and the reservoirs.
Going by these flies your fishing has changed dramatically. Hope you are living life to the max mate. Take care and tight lines!
Aye mate, living in Japan now. Mostly fishing saltwater, bass and carp on fly( but wild ones without groundbaiting and that crap). I'm actually going out on Monday looking for mahi mahi and tuna. Top fun.
What is the difference between zapa gap, Sally Hansen hard as nails, and head cement?
Zap a gap is super glue, head cement and hard as nails are basically just varnish-non adhesive.
@@FlickingFeathers Cool Thanks!
