We use the thread shellac fly tiers use. All the better stores carry one brand or another. it comes in a bottle about 1 1/4 inches squares. Only trouble we have is that its thinned with some very easy to evaporate solvent. just leave the bottle open for and hour and it gets very thick. they do sell thinner for you to add though. I think all things considered , the nail polish works fine too. Epoxy is great but you need to tie a lot then coat as a big batch if you use epoxy. i like to coat each one after i tie it so epoxy wouldn't work out for me. i don't know why I like coating each one instead of a batch but that's howwe do it.
