I've been experimenting with UV cured cement on the larger stuff, and I like
it.
When it came out a long while back as UV wader repair, we used it a lot for
flies that needed shell-backs. It musta got popular because they market it
now with UV flashlights for tying. It's way less expensive to get a tube of
Loon's wader repair and then just tie when you can cure them in the
sunlight, which was the intent of the wader repair- fix while on the river.
they'll end up a bit tacky if you don't let them cure for a while. I can
cover them with vinyl cement and that ends that.

Hi Don,
interesting tie! And the idea with the screen is good! I have to test
this.
Epoxy as glue?

I'm working on the larger saltwater glass and grass shrimps,
using large clear plastic tubing & cutting a shrimp body from it.
It is clear, soft and fairly flexible and yet very light.
This one is taller because I split the shape down the middle with a
razor blade and folded it over on itself. Worked pretty well.
This is for night-time snook fishing under the docks, redfish on the
flats,
and speckle trout. I'm sure a lot of other species will take it too.
For the redfish, I'm going to make it clear chartruese with gold dubbing-
hot colors for reds.
I'll probably not use the 6-leg approach on the production flies,
but some sort of hackle or fur like PB.
The back-drop for the photo is my computer screen. Shows up the
transparecy well.
A similar crawfish pattern is soon to follow.
