Mine stayed gummy/tacky.  I could roll it off so I was able to save my fly.
I'm smiling right now because I'm sure I did something wrong.  
It is important to say that we're not using the product for what it was
intended for.. so it isn't a defect if it doesn't cure right on our flies.
Leave it to a fly tyer to get creative.

Subject: RE: [VFB] Loon Knot Sense for tying

Deb (and others),

What do you mean by the knot sense "not curing"?  There is a little
residual film of goo that will remain even after it has cured...this is
called "residual tack" by the people at Loon (or something like that).
It's not a big deal...will go away...and actually doesn't appear to the
same extent if you cure it in sunlight.  This doesn't affect the
adhesive properties.  The only thing that I have noticed about it,
however, is that if I touch it before it dries my flies will have a
"matte finish", which may not be all that bad.  Sometimes I wait a
minute or two and then add an additional coat as well.  Not sure if it
makes a difference.
