| Hard as nails is great for the ties. If tying flashabou, that is all you need. I like to use 5 minute Epoxy on the final tie when doing marabou and other hair creations. You can add glitter or even acrylic paint to it to give your creations a little extra flair. I doubt the fish cares at all, so purely for the creator's enjoyment. |

| Thanks all, I didn't see any Hard as Nails at target. I grabbed some super glue in a little bottle that is really easy to pour and manage. Works so far. Hopefully that will hold up, dont really care about looks more for durability.
I'm going to get some Hard as Nails here and also try that, I'm only trying flash right now so that's probably what I need. |

| why do you want to just work with michael and home depot ? if you want to enlarge your stores you should get loon uv,it's almost as hard and durable as 2 part epoxy and set it seconds with a uv ligh.once again stay away from 5 min epoxy it will yellowing in less than a year and after it will crack.junk! |
