Copper John Epoxy Backs

[poirierpro]

Have any of you tried Loon Hardhead cement for copper johns?? If not what do you use? Will Loon Hardhead hold up?

[scottflycst]

The loon products I have used have been good quality even though I haven't used their cement. I do use head cement, 2 coats, for copper johns and similiar flies.

One of my favorite flies. I use 1 minute epoxy. Works great, just tie at least 6 at a time then epoxy them all at one time.

I haven't used the Loon Hardhead cement, but I have used the Loon UV Knot Sense on copper johns with good success.

[MasterAnglerTaylor]

I use it. Hasnt failed yet, pretty solid stuff.

I use the Loon UV Knot Sense...works like a dream and fast.

I used this for my epoxy stuff. It is just as good.

What's the purpose of epoxying the backs anyways?

I just use Hard as Nails on them. I tend to lose them in the rocks/trees/brush before they can fall apart anyways. :rofl:

I use loon hard head and I've never had a problem.

[gigharborflyfisher]

I use it on them and it works great!! I also use it on cutthroat epoxy head flies and it holds up amazingly well...

It makes the flashback shine nicely. I don't know if Sally's does the same.
