Advantages and key features

Designed to optimize every finishing step, Devaux UV Color Varnish combines rapid application with professional quality. Its ability to spread evenly reduces excess buildup and produces neat heads, protective segments or realistic colored effects. Instant curing eliminates downtime, prevents runs and securely locks fibers in place. The hardened film remains clear, durable and non-sticky, ensuring excellent abrasion and water resistance. This varnish also allows subtle customization of flies while keeping weight low and maintaining a professional finish.

Usage instructions

Prepare your workstation with a reliable UV lamp and precision tools. Apply a thin layer of UV varnish directly to the area to be reinforced (fly head, back, segment, knot). Rotate the vise slightly for a few seconds to even out the film. Then expose to UV light at short distance until fully cured. For ultra-smooth finishes, use multiple very thin coats rather than a single thick layer. Avoid dust exposure during and immediately after curing. Clean the nozzle after use to maintain consistent flow and best precision.

Testimonials

“Used from its first release, this UV varnish sped up my tying workflow while improving finish quality. The film is truly non-sticky after curing, preventing snags on the line. Heads stay compact, glossy and strong, and the fluidity makes minimal applications easy without weighing down patterns.”

FAQ

Does the varnish remain sticky after curing?
No. With proper exposure to a suitable UV lamp, the surface is completely non-sticky and ready to use.

Can it be used on different tying materials?
Yes. The varnish adheres effectively to common materials such as tying threads, feathers, hairs and synthetic films, creating a durable protective layer.

How long does full curing take?
The polymerization is instantaneous under adequate UV light. A few seconds are usually sufficient to achieve a hard, stable finish.
