UV Products

Are the Loon UV products ok?

Yep, though I use Solarez.

More importantly, have fresh batteries in your light.

Loons pretty good. I use Solarez to though. If you are looking for a great UV cure light for the price , check this out https://www.amazon.com/Escolite-Flashlight-Ultraviolet-Blacklight-Detector/dp/B008133KB4

I like the thin formula here.

Works great for me.

I switched to solarez from loon. My experience with loon has been very negative. Maybe I had a bad batch but it was absolutely terrible. It would haze up, be tacky or peel. Loon just didn't bond how I expected. I was using loons light and new batteries so that wasn't the problem.

Solarez on the other hand dries hard as a rock and doesn't get hazy or tacky. Thats just my experience. I'm sure some will disagree but I wont be giving loon uv another chance.

thanks all! I'll give solarez a try.

I'm slowly finishing up my CCG resins,. I switched pretty much to Solarez. I tie a lot of foam bugs and I've been using their Flex UV resin on them. No issues with cracking. I've also been using Deer Creek Thin Flex resin for my pan fish bugs.

I had the same experience with Loon. The Loon stuff is not even in the same league as Solarez and Deer Creek IMO.
