SOLAREZ Artisan

There is not a lot of product here (small tubes), but it seems to work great. I've now tried each of the small tubes and all of them had a very small amount of tack when fully cured in the sun. The 2 hard resin tubes (thick and thin) each dried hard while the flex resin was indeed flexible. These have about the same properties as many of the other resins on the market at about the same price, however, I would say that it dries with less tack than the others (I've tried 3 other products). Also, although the quantity looks small in these tubes, I've been using them for about a year and still have some left in each tube. I tie a lot of flies too. Update 12.19.18: Since I've seen several negative reviews here, I'd like to reiterate that for me this stuff works as good as and maybe even better than all the other UV resins I've tried. The flimsy plastic tops on 2 of the tubes split on me, but I just put the entire tube out in the sun and the tops were auto sealed by the leaking resin. Still have about 1/4 left in each tube.

I use this sparingly in a few patterns I like to tie. It’s a good amount and comes in 3 varieties enough to experiment with. It is effective and easy to use above all. For my own purposes this is a perfect amount that will last me a long time. Note I am a hobbyist/enthusiastic amateur, by no means a professional, I only use this for own purposes. The amount may be inadequate for other purposes, none the less a great product.

I had no idea people made their own fishing lures and they used this kind of resin for the eyes and body, so I thought I'd try it for something similar. The hard type resin is perfect for doll eyes and such and I use the flexible type for Gundam camera lenses and beam effects. I haven't found a use for the thin type yet but I'll keep looking. Overall an amazing value and easy to use! Will buy more soon!

The resin is consistent with the advertising. The Thin is more of what I'm used to from normal resins, maybe a little thinner. The thick is really thick. I would be better if it had a real applicator tip. What it has now is just the tip of the tube, which makes it really hard to control. In have started spreading with a needle. Still a good product at a reasonable price.

I have mainly used the thin material but really like the viscosity and cure time. Although the tubes are small, the tubes work well to dispense and they last quite a while. One thing I noted when receiving the product is that it was shipped in a plastic bag vs a clamshell type package. Because of this, the foil like tubes were compressed a little causing the material to spew out a bit when opened. Happy with the purchase though!

Wowza! I don't fish nor did I purchase these for fishing flies...I actually purchased to use as a top coat to my tiny polymer clay charms. This stuff is amazing and brings a brilliant hard shine to my clay pieces. The tubes are small BUT will last for a very very long time. One tiny dab goes a LONG ways. I also love the fast curing time! This stuff is amazing and i will purchase again when i need more.

This stuff works great and sets up fast. I feel it works much better than the "5 sec" brands of UV glue. It sets up hard and clear. I use it for fly tying and it works better than head cement in my opinion

It is overpriced for these small tubes but it does work well, especially the green tube with "Flex"

Kit di 3 tubetti da 5gr cadauno di colla uv, rispettivamente per spessori ridotti, per spessori più importanti e flessibile. Una delle migliori colle mai provate, molto viscosa, usata per costruire mosche (thin), teste piombate (thick) e per riparare i fori nei cosciali (Flex). La colla esposta alla luce di una vera lampadina/led uv (nel mio caso con lunghezza d'onda di 365nm) catalizza in appena 1 secondo, anche spessori importanti, diventando dura come una roccia. Non posso che dirmi pienamente soddisfatto, eccezion fatta per il tubetto in se, che non consente un dosaggio preciso, consiglio di utilizzare uno stuzzicadenti/spillo per applicare con precisione la porzione di collante desiderata.

Brilliant stuff for fly tying. I tried others and can't fault it. But it is expensive. Goes a long way though.

Product works as it should

Haven’t used it yet but a friend of mine use it a lot and recommend it

I was using the Loon UV resin and found it was way too sticky after setting it. I figured I'd give the Solarez a whirl and I'm happy I did. Not only is it a more affordable product, but it does harden with a less sticky finish. I have yet to find a resin that doesn't end up at least a little sticky (I just give it a coat of lacquer over top), but this one is probably my favourite thus far.
