Nightsky Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I was talking with a guy at Sail the other day about making popper flies. He told me he's using epoxy glue to coat the popper head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ok, thanks night. I was thinking of trying some of that UV head cement, thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DundasSteelheader Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ok, thanks night. I was thinking of trying some of that UV head cement, thoughts? UV head cement is pretty expensive.. about 8 bucks for a little bottle if I remember correctly. You can get a lot of regular epoxy for that. When I did my last bunch of poppers I just dipped the foam heads in enamel paint and got that nice glossy shiny head you see on the store bought ones. Never tried using balsa before. Good luck, flies look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
