Default Glitter Glue

Hello All do you think this has a place in our flies, it's liquid glue and although you can't see it on the hook all those speckles are glitter, and it comes in many colours.
I tied a body of floss on the body and tail pearl then shaped the glue let it dry then coated HAN on it.
I next tried bead chain.
I think it could enhance foam on boobies.
I await your replies has this been used before.

Isn't 'glitter glue' PVA based.

Hello MJB it does not say it's PVA on the bottle but it is washable if it's spilled, I fished it today for an hour although I had 3 follows by the browns the rainbows wanted my Cdcs. The next batch I make I'm going to put Super Glue over them see if it's any better, the HAN was OK but the glitter was starting to soften so if a fish had taken it, it would not have lasted long.
So I'll try some Idea's in the close season.
Thanks to you both for replying.

Robbie
