I've heard this from a few people.I've had reactions to other UV resins
Thanks Jake, yeah, I had the Loon before and was always so confused why I couldn't ever get it completely hard (get your mind outta the gutter).Following because I’m curious about what else is out there.
Solarez Bone Dry is my favorite. Glass finish and hard, done in 10 seconds.
Loon…not so much.
I think it’s a trade off, hard as glass ≠ flexibility. I’ve never had the Loon stuff chip and I bounce it off a lot. Whereas I’ve had another UV cure become rock hard but would chip easier.Following because I’m curious about what else is out there.

Good pointI think it’s a trade off, hard as glass ≠ flexibility. I’ve never had the Loon stuff chip and I bounce it off a lot of stuff. Whereas I’ve had another UV cure become rock hard but would chip easier.
Granted I’ve only tried two types so I’m curious what others say as well.
Did that for a while, and it worked really well for everything, until I tried Solarez bone dry again and found it flowed much better for perditions, etc.—I’d forgotten how much better.Save yourself some $$ and get craft jewelry UV resin from Amazon. There are dozens of brands and options out there. Here’s just one.
I use it for all manner of tying situations—bodies, heads, parachute posts, shellbacks, etc. I keep my tying room at about 70 degrees so I’ve never experienced flow that was too viscous to use. For very small applications I just transfer resin into a small applicator bottle. Works great.Did that for a while, and it worked really well for everything, until I tried Solarez bone dry again and found it flowed much better for perditions, etc.—I’d forgotten how much better.
But maybe there are better kinds than I’ve tried. How viscous is the resin you linked?
Solarez also does it to me, Loon and Gulff do not. Annoying as I really liked bone dry.Gulff 'Thinman' for me, I've had reactions to other UV resins, and the Gulff products don't bother me. The Thinman flows nicely for patterns like Perdigons and Chroni's.
