Yes, you will need a UV light source to cure the resin. Loon Outdoors recommends using their UV lights for the best results, but any UV light with the correct wavelength will work to harden the finish.

You can use it as a standalone finish for hot spots or trigger points. However, if you are building up a larger body or head, applying a clear UV resin over the top can add extra durability and a glass-like shine.

Unlike opaque materials like thread or dubbing, this resin allows light to pass through, creating a depth and life-like quality that mimics the natural translucence of baitfish or insect larvae.

When cured properly with a strong UV light, this resin should be tack-free. If you notice any residual tackiness, it is usually a sign that the light source is weak or the resin was not exposed for long enough.
