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

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.
