Default Bugbond or Clear Cure Gloo

which one do you people prefer? Thinking of getting some for buzzers and the like.

Any benefits or cons to either?

Thanks

I think they are both very similar, at the moment the Cleargoo can be obtained in a brushable form.

As for using a brush I just move it around with a needle and had no problems.

Some of the flies that I have seen look to be sticky even after curing. The flies that I am talking about looked like they had been used to catch dust bunnies. Is that common to both products or do they need to cure/dry longer?

If its just for 'buzzers and the like', save your money and just use a decent varnish, the fish won't know the difference. Both these products are around the £30 quid mark including the special torches you need, think of all the more useful items you could buy with that! Yes they are good products in their own right, price withstanding. Having made a genuinely objective and thorough research of them though, i have not found one example where they are actually needed. Don't fall for the hype AL, you need your pennies more than they do!
