I need to tie up some matching color tail flags for the big ones and a dressed white/pink siwash 6/0 for the 6 incher... do the tyers use some epoxy and then coat with red hard head fly finish

I use red thread or matching color thread and Sally Hansen hard as nails polish, you can get it from job lot for a dollar each. I do 4 coats and build up a nice layer. Holds up great and last. I've used the real fly tying cement, it is a lot funnier for a guy who looks like a white power tattooed biker to buy nail polish.

I use minwax clear finish, penetrates well and is alot more inexpensive than nail polish. I use the little squeeze bottles and a dynaking glue holder

Raven 01-01-2011 10:22 AM

jus wondrin....

striperman36 01-01-2011 10:26 AM

Wow Chris, you've been very busy! The pikies look great! I can't wait to see what's next on your "to build" list. Hopefully I'll see you at plugfest.

Pikies look great...like the paint.

blondterror 01-05-2011 01:19 PM
