Oooooh... very nice indeed Carol Might just have to have a p!ss about with this 'ere Buggy Bondy business...

Any particular reasons/virtues over using a few coats of Sally.. other than the quick finish?

Great looking buzzer Carl. I got Bug Bond recently from a local retailer and found it fantastic stuff to work with.

Just ease of use mate, great for one off patterns, ideas where you wanna post it on here.

There's two coats of BugBond Lite on it.

Love the BB mate, great for me in particular, I can complete full buzzers orders in a matter of only a hour or so, instead of waiting 15-20 mins between HAN Coats.

I told you the Lite was the stuff to use
he only thing i would say to anyone who is using it for the first time is resist the temptation to check the fly is hard.
It will be but your finger will dull the surface of the bugbond.
A good exposure to sunlight helps as well.
I'm testing some new pro tips at the moment that have a type of brush on the tip that seem just the job.

Will have to get me the brush tips mate, I tend to tip the fly forwards in the vice, this ensures any excess BB will head towards the thorax

Also, get some good AAA Rechargeable batts, 1000ah Duracell Lithium are on off just now at Tesco.
