Hard As Hull

I've been using the "Penetrator" form of Hard As Hull for years. I've found it to be the perfect consistency for soaking into the thread to finish off my flies. Occasionally it will get a little thick, so I'll add some Thinner to it, but this is rare. Truly one of those must-haves at the fly bench.

Hard As Hull

This is great head cement. I use two coats and it is hard as hell. If u want a big build up use another coat. Very glossy. Great stuff!

Thumbs Up

This hard as hull head cement is pretty similar, if not identical, to a certain someone's nail protector polish. Nonetheless, it applies very easily and comes ready-to-use out of the attractive bottle. A single coat will soak right into your threads/lead/material and make a solid, secure connection. Multiple coats will rather quickly build up a larger head. Dry-time is decent enough...a few minutes for a liberal coating. The applicator is a bit large for smaller flies, but nothing a bodkin can't fix. A single bottle will last for a great many flies. I give it a thumbs up.

Best Head Cement

Hard as Hull is the best head cement that I've used. Dry's fast and is not too thin. I use the original formula for saltwater and salmon flies for added durability and the penetrator is great for tying trout flies to keep things locked in place. Great stuff!
