gorilla glue to make bug bodies...

[eagleflyfshr]

Gorilla glue is great stuff, but you have to be careful with it. Once set, it only comes off with a knife or a chisel. Before it sets, a little alcohol works. The best approach is just to put it exactly where you want it and dont get it on anything else. I've used it for making small repairs on flyrods in the field and it works great. I've added a drop to existing flies, but have never actually tied up a fly using it. It expands when it sets, incorporating air bubbles in it, which gives it a little buoyancy, and it is totally waterproof. I think the setting time is a little longer than he indicates on the video, but then I've never used white stuff. Mine is brown. Don't know if there is a difference.
