What to do with drying epoxy flies?

[bwtucker83]

I want to epoxy my clousers to secure the eyes and make them more durable but I'm not sure what to do with fly while I'm waiting for the epoxy to dry. I need some help with this. What do you do?

Thanks

Brad

If they do not need to be turned to keep the epoxy from running just hang them from the bobin rest.

If you can afford it go to a fly shop and pick up a foam epoxy drying wheel.

It's a foam wheel on a motor that spins pretty slow, stick your flies in and the epoxy will dry evenly as it spins in circles.

You might be able to build your own with a foam disk and a small electric motor, I think mine turns around 7rpm?

After the epoxy sets, I hang mine on my wife's "Home Interiors" flower arrangement in the kitchen. That way she'll see the value in letting me have a new drying wheel :) ..........chuck
