What it is
Hareline Loctite Super Glue Brush On is a brush-on instant adhesive with a liquid formula and a patented additive. It sets fast and dries clear, and it bonds strong on both porous and non-porous materials. The applicator is designed to stay clog-free and the packaging is spill-resistant, so it’s easy to keep at the bench.
What to tie with it
Use it when you need a fast, no-clamp bond for close-fitting or “invisible” repairs on a fly or a piece of gear. At the vise it’s for locking down materials, tacking something exactly where you want it, and making small, precise glue-ups with the built-in brush. It also holds up well once cured thanks to moisture, chemical, and freeze resistance.
Flies and the fish they're for
This is more of a bench essential than a pattern-specific material, because you’ll use it on all kinds of flies when you want a quick, strong bond. It shows up in both freshwater and saltwater tying any time you’re gluing components down cleanly and keeping things streamlined for fishing. When you’re building durable flies for toothy or abrasive conditions, or just trying to keep a guide-friendly fly from coming apart, a fast-setting super glue like this is a common step.
How it compares
Compared with ordinary super glues, it sets faster. Compared with ordinary instant adhesives, it’s designed for a stronger hold and to bond on more types of surfaces.
