Head Cements
 

I just sat down at the tyin' table and found that both my clear and black head cements
have practically dried up. I had noticed that the clear appeared to be evaporating,
but didn't realized that it had lost it's liquidity (don't know if this is this even
proper use of the word). Both cements are hard or at the very least too thick to use.

Is there any thing that I can do to reconstitute the cements--paint thinners, varsol?

Mark,
If things are not too far gone, regular lacquer thinner will thin most common
head cements.

Except Dave's Flexament. It is vinyl based and is tough to find thinner.

Toluene, available at paint/hardware stores is a solvent for Flexament. Use
with great caution and in a well ventilated area. Very FLAMMABLE!!

If I had your addy, I'd send you a bottle of Griff's clear, but I have no
idea where to find black.

A bottle of clear head cement with a top coat of black fingernail polish
should work.

Or for about $1.50 each, you could buy a bottle of clear and a bottle of
black nail polish at any drug store.

The gorilla suit rings a bell, but I can't seem to get a handle on it?

usually breathables with neoprene bootys are far more
comfortable for that.


Steve (Of course you need oversize slippers/loafers ...)

Steve have you tried tyin' in scub gear, yet? I do some of my
best tyin' in a gorilla suit, course it comes with its own feet
included.

Op --Hodgeman's bought at www.wouldburnersoutflitters.con
suck--


Masks are a bugger to keep clear and what with wearing the hood 'n
all I could miss the dinner bell which means I may go hungry, or
more likely I'll cop a whack over the nadget for not paying
attention.
Gorilla suit sounds like a plan though ... should be easy to find
dubbing.

....I never use head cement. I either use nothing at all (other than
thread)
or I use CA glue, as above. CA glue, when properly prepared with
a thin Teflon tube dispenser, will last for 6 months or more, and

Mark, I have completely gone over to Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails for my
head cements. Inexpensive and comes in colors, but I confess to using only
clear. I know this is not what you asked but I wanted to jump in with
