I have had a few people ask how I like the clear cure goo. So let me address that first. The clear cure stuff is not going to do anything that epoxy won't do. But it is easier , faster and neater. It is also more expensive and requires that you buy an UV light to cure the mixture. Out of all their concoctions I like the hydro the best. It is the thinnest formula , cures the fastest. Since it almost like nail polish ( goes on with a brush ) it is easier for me to work with.
It cures tack free and really shines when done right.

These jigs are painted with glitter nail polish, and I covered the thread wrap in silver or gold holographic tinsel. Then sealed with the hydro. I sometimes prefer a jig with lots of flash. I think these will fit the bill. Almost like a gangsters babe showing all her bling.:D

Flash is definitely effective - more the better usually. Gangsta babes definitely attract my attention, if only for a few polite seconds.

Papa those are nice!!! I may have to try some of that. I tie one close to yours with out the sealer. Must say I like yours better than mine. The silver shad gray and white with the satin will take many big fat slab crappie. Very,very nice job.

All look good. Everyone of those will do the trick. I will have to try the Hydro, that's one I don't have and I don't remember seeing it used before. Nice work :)

NIce job on the jigs!!! They look great!!

Ive played with Clear Cure Goo for the first time for a swap on another site. I fouond that the clear cure goo was ok to work with since it was my first time using it. I hate that it has a tacky feel and requires a clear coat to get rid of the tackyness. Pappa Perch is right it is on the hig side of the price scale.

plateboater- I like the hydro formula the best. Thinnest and quickest curing. From what I read ( how true it is ? ) each companys formula is unique. So the best curing UV light for each individual manufacturer would be their own light. They all say that sunlight will cure them all so why the difference on the light who knows.

I did not like buying batteries , mine take 3 AAA. So I bought a 4.5 volt dc power supply and used it for power.
