Longest-lasting fly floatant

Dilly Wax is the very best and longest-lasting fly floatant available. Specially formulated for use on poly yarn wing posts but also perfect for hackles, it liquefies between your fingers for easy application to your fly. It won't wash off in cold water, and once coated, the fly floats perfectly, time after time.

Also works great as a line/leader dressing. Easy to apply from a neat little tube.

High Gloss Finish

You've worked a long time on that fly - let's make it last with Hard As Hull Head Cement. Perfect for steelhead, salmon and saltwater flies, it's high gloss finish dries to a durable hard shell. Each bottle includes a built-in applicator brush and seldom requires thinning.

TIP: Head cement is often used for other parts of the fly besides the head. If you want to tie flies that will absolutely not roll on the hook, start each fly with a thin coat of cement on the bare hook shank and then make your base wraps of thread over it

Deep penetrating adhesive

Hard as Hull Penetrator Head Cement is a deep penetrating adhesive that soaks into thread wraps and locks them down. It soaks in nicely and doesn't change the look of the thread wraps. The bottle cap has a built in applicator brush. It is our default head cement for all our flies.

A super tacky dubbing wax that helps make dubbing much easier.

Brush a little on your thread and natural or synthetic dubbing will stick much better.

A dab of tying wax applied to our dubbing loops does help hold materials in place until we get to spinning. This is a great product that comes in a large or small travel tube.

A thick head cement for adding a glossy head to flies

Never mix epoxy again! Hard Head is an odorless, non-toxic, thick head cement perfect for building glossy heads and bodies. Dries hard and glossy.

UV-curing resins with multiple functions, all while curing in seconds

UV resins allow for infinite work time but cure within seconds when exposed to one of Loon's UV lights. The result: a perfect application with a durable, clean, and glossy finish. The three different viscosities were developed to perform in three different circumstances:

• UV Flow is the same viscosity as water and locks in threads as a head cement and provides a super-thin coating to heads, bodies or midges.
• UV Thin is viscous enough to build heads or wing cases, but thin enough to coat bodies on small, low-profile flies.
• UV Thick is perfect for building big heads, bodies, and wing cases.

A thick head cement for adding a glossy head to flies

UV Fly Finish is the colored UV resin companion to UV Clear Fly Finish and does exactly what you want it to do: instantly provide color and complexity to flies. The "Hot" colors are perfect for adding hot spots and trigger points, providing a subtle glow. Lighter colors offer a life-like translucence, presenting the opportunity to build flies with a depth that couldn’t be achieved otherwise.

Super sticky dubbing wax

Wonder Wax is a very popular super sticky dubbing wax. It has been credited with a 'magnetic adhesive effect' on the thread and sticks only when and where you need it. Manufactured with the original ingredients, equipment and formula developed by Glenn Overton in the 1970's.

Extra Thick Viscosity

Thickest ZAP of all - great for filling gaps. The tube comes with a long tapered tip allowing precise application. The role playing gaming industry uses it for gluing pewter and plastic figures. Fly tiers and custom lure manufactures like it because it stays where they want it. Jewelry makers like the high strength and the ability to apply just the right amount. Model builders also like the high strength features and use it for servo mounts, laminating, gluing plywood, anywhere a fast curing high strength joint is needed.

Bonds Virtually Everything

Strong flexible adhesive/sealer. Bonds anything. Bonds can be cut with a razor knife. ZAP GOO is an excellent adhesive for today's high tech composite airplane, boat, and car hobby products, and great for all of those fix-it, mend-it, seal-it, and stick-it jobs around the house. 1 fl oz tube.

ZAP CA (Pink Label) Thin Viscosity

Super-thin penetrating formula. Works great on most materials, especially Balsa and other soft woods. Excellent "wicking" action. Strengthens fiberglass cloth. Some uses besides hobbies and crafts include; jewelry manufacturing and repair, taxidermy, mold and pattern making, furniture refinishing and antique repair, auto detailing, archery, darts, and ceramic repair. Bonds in 1 to 5 seconds.

ZAP-A-GAP CA+ (Green Label) Medium Viscosity

Fills gaps. The ability to bond virtually anything to anything with consistency unequalled by any other brand makes it the favorite adhesive across many varied disciplines.

Thin Gloss Coat lacquer based head cement

Wapsi Fly Head Cement Thinner is used for thinning down Wapsi Fly Head High Gloss Lacquer Cement (not the water-based cement). A little goes a long way.

Traditional lacquer based head cement

Developed and produced exclusively for Wapsi, our traditional lacquer based head cement has been a favorite among fly tyers for years. Wapsi Fly Head Cement is quick drying and deep penetrating with minimal build up. The advantages of quick drying cement are less chance of imparting a fingerprint on the head of the finished fly, and the ability to apply several thin coats of cement to the head for maximum durability.

Fly tyers who like a nice, tight head on their flies often choose this cement for its minimal build up. This is particularly an asset to fly tyers who tie small trout flies.

The thickness of the cement can be easily adjusted by simply leaving the top off the jar for a short period of time (thickening it through evaporation) or adding a small amount of Wapsi Fly Head Cement Thinner. Like all cements that harden by evaporation eventually the cement will start to thicken in the jar as a result of repeated opening and closing of the bottle. When this happens simply add some thinner to bring it back to the desired consistency. This can be done time and time again and as a result this cement can last a very long time on your fly tying bench.

Environmentally friendly water base lacquer

This cement is made with an environmentally friendly water base lacquer that is non-flammable, odorless, quick drying, and is non-yellowing (dries clear). It is excellent as an all-around fly tying cement. The thin viscosity of the cement allows it to penetrate the thread well and creates a very good bond. If you desire to slightly thin the cement even further it can be thinned as much as 10% by adding a tiny amount of water.

Water based cements are at their best when used with synthetic materials such as foam, flash materials, and rubber legs which can actually disintegrate when they come into contact with the some solvents. If you happen to accidentally spill some on your desktop clean up is fast and easy – simply wipe off the spilled cement with a wet sponge or rag before it dries.

Like other lacquers the product dries by evaporation and can be handled just minutes after application. Several coats can be added in succession to produce a glossy coat if desired. Full cure happens overnight and the product will not dissolve in the water once cured.

Low-viscosity head cement made by Zap

Produced by Zap to Wapsi specifications, this low-viscosity head cement features a 10-15 second cure time and a brush applicator.

High gloss finish with just one application

Gloss Coat is a fast drying, acrylic resin based head cement that produces a durable, high gloss finish with just one application. Having a medium thickness it is excellent for building up heads on flies and as a cosmetic overcoat for painted popper bodies, jig heads, etc.

As the name implies what sets Gloss Coat apart from all other cements is the incredibly shiny finish it produces. Other cements require multiple applications to approach the finish you get with just one application of Gloss Coat.
