had a nasty experience with superglue, sat up til the early hours tying buzzers for fishing the next day, painstakingly gave them a few coats of glue and in the morning i discovered the glue had dried white, now i only use hard as nails

I prefer Sally's, regular for grunt work flys and Diamond Shine for specials.

s h nail varnish every time ,as said above superglue can go white,and normal superglue isnt waterproof,cant beat a coat of s h especially the one with nylon in it ,it really adds that bit more strength....
