I wrapped some tailhooks

[NIB]

SH posted some good advice.U can us a regular vise for this also.if u don't seal the Zap a gap it usually turns white.nailpolish will work fine.u can find sally hansens hard as nails alot of times in some o those dollar joints.I think I have a old but workable vise around if u want.

so??
first i do the long hair, then the medium hair, then the short stuff? or other way arround?
should i forget the zap-a-gap all together and just go with nail polish?
do you just do one coat when it's done? or do multiple coats in between thread layers so it soaks in. like wrapping the hair on wet glue? or do you rely on the thread strength to hold the hair?

i sent you a plug today nib.

zapagap, then when your all done, apply 5 minute epoxy over the threads... it makes all the difference in the world.

Start with the short and work to the longest. Always wrap the shank of the hook with thread where you're going to be tying, otherwise the whole shooting match will spin on you at some point. (Usaually after it's tied off and you're fishing wth it...) I put a bit of thinner in Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail polish. This assures full penetration of the threads ater the fly is all wrapped. The way I tie on each layer is a few loose wraps of thread, then I fuss with the bucktail and get it the way I want it. Then a few tight wraps in front of the loose wraps. Trim and then do the next layer, repeat the process.
