Bob Popovics has a new product out call "Fleye Foils" that can be used with UV cures. I've been messing around lately with some UV cure, Clear Cure Goo for some of my tying as an alternative to epoxy.
I though some folks might enjoy watching this video. Sorry, no audio.

I plan to get some of the foils and try them on some beach coho patterns this summer.

I'm gearing up for July 1st. Here are my first attemps with the fleye foils and surf candies using UV cure.
Top fly is a medium bay anchovy, second is a small silverside and the bottom three are small sand eels. So far I really like the foils. The quick cure time with the UV light versus epoxy is a plus as well.
Thanks to my buddy Tim for spotting me the foils until my order arrive.

I'm really enjoying tying with the foils.
I was messing around with them last night. I wanted the gill and eye to be a little more pronounced. I used a sharpie to add the gill and a 2.0 stick on eye.
I'm looking forward to the opener on Sunday.
