Quick take
A medium-viscosity CA+ adhesive with micro brush for fly-tying knots and fly heads.
Zap-A-Gap CA+ is a medium-viscosity cyanoacrylate adhesive in a small 0.25 fluid ounce tube with a brush applicator. It is made for fly tying, where a drop locks thread wraps, eyes and fly heads in place, and it also suits knotless line and leader connections. It cures clear and waterproof in about 20 seconds, so a tyer can keep working at the vise.
