## **1. Thick Hard Resin – Strength & Durability**
**Best for:** Streamers, saltwater flies, and heavy-duty patterns.

The **Thick Hard Resin** from **KyleBooker** is designed for maximum durability. Its high viscosity ensures a thick, protective coating that resists chipping and cracking, even in fast-moving currents or when targeting toothy fish like pike or saltwater species.

### **Key Benefits:**
✔ **Impact-resistant** – Ideal for flies that endure hard strikes.
✔ **Slow curing** – Allows for smooth application without drips.
✔ **UV-resistant** – Maintains clarity and strength over time.

**Recommended Use:** Apply to heads of Woolly Buggers, Clouser Minnows, or epoxy-based flies.

## **2. Thin Hard Resin – Precision & Clarity**
**Best for:** Small nymphs, dry flies, and delicate patterns.

If you need a **hard yet thin** coating, **KyleBooker’s Thin Hard Resin** is the perfect choice. It flows smoothly, creating a glass-like finish without adding excessive bulk.

### **Key Benefits:**
✔ **Fine application** – Perfect for intricate fly patterns.
✔ **Quick-setting** – Reduces waiting time between coats.
✔ **High gloss** – Enhances the natural appearance of materials.

**Recommended Use:** Use on CDC wings, midge patterns, or as a final sealant for durability.

## **3. Soft/Flexible Resin – Natural Movement**
**Best for:** Flies requiring lifelike action (e.g., baitfish imitations).

Unlike rigid resins, **KyleBooker’s Soft/Flexible Resin** retains slight elasticity, allowing flies to move naturally in the water. This is essential for imitating baitfish, shrimp, or other prey with subtle undulations.

### **Key Benefits:**
✔ **Flexible yet durable** – Resists cracking while maintaining movement.
✔ **Semi-gloss finish** – Mimics the sheen of real aquatic creatures.
✔ **Easy to apply** – Self-leveling for a smooth coat.

**Recommended Use:** Great for shrimp patterns, silicone legs, or articulated streamers.

## **4. Fly Tying Cement – Strong Bonding**
**Best for:** Securing thread wraps, attaching materials, and reinforcing weak points.

No fly-tying kit is complete without **KyleBooker’s Fly Tying Cement**. This high-strength adhesive ensures that every material stays in place, preventing unraveling during casts and fights.

### **Key Benefits:**
✔ **Instant hold** – Dries quickly for efficient tying.
✔ **Waterproof** – Won’t weaken when submerged.
✔ **Versatile** – Works on feathers, fur, synthetics, and more.

**Recommended Use:** Apply to thread wraps before whip finishing or securing delicate materials like peacock herl.
