This completely covers and then seals the eyes in place deep inside the eye sockets to produce a realistic finish. The eyes will never come off! Simply place the Living Eyes in the eye socket, cover them completely with some Clear Cure Goo Hydro, and then hit it with the light for 8 – 10 seconds to cure. You will love the result. Another method is to use clear drying super glue in the base of the eye sockets and then stick the Living Eyes in place. Done correctly, this is a very quick and effective technique. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhat is the Flymen Big Game Fly Solution?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA: \u003c\/strong\u003eA predator size Fish-Mask (#10 or #15) + Living Eyes (10mm or 15mm) + \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flymenfishingcompany.com\/products\/fish-skull-next-generation-shank\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNext Generation Shanks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e (NGS)\u003c\/span\u003e = the key platform upon which large, big game flies can be built.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Flymen Fishing Company","offers":[{"title":"#3","offer_id":44670063247383,"sku":"FS-FM-03","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#4","offer_id":44670063280151,"sku":"FS-FM-04","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#5","offer_id":44670063312919,"sku":"FS-FM-05","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#6","offer_id":44670063345687,"sku":"FS-FM-06","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"#7","offer_id":44670063378455,"sku":"FS-FM-07","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#8.5","offer_id":44670063411223,"sku":"FS-FM-85","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#10","offer_id":44670063443991,"sku":"FS-FM-10","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#15","offer_id":44670063476759,"sku":"FS-FM-15","price":7.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/8646\/9655\/files\/Fish-Skull_Fish-Mask.png?v=1772268928","url":"https:\/\/bukasworld.com\/products\/fish-skull%c2%ae-fish-mask%e2%84%a2","provider":"BUKAS WORLD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
