For touch dubbing, use paper glue. The semi-solid stuff sold in the
"lipstick" type tubes. I use "Pritt", but I have tried quite a few,
amd they all work better than wax.



Hey hey hey. How are ya, Mike? Been here long? :-)

(and for the record, I use glue sticks, too.)

Oh, I have been here for quite a while, but it makes no odds.

Ski wax, the stuff for wet snow, (red , nearly liquid, amd
stinks),works, but it is a terrible clart about. The paper glue is
really good. It only works well with very fine dubbimg of course. (
Stuff like mole. hare, rabbit, muskrat underfur). If you have really
spikey hair, then you need to use the split thread technique. This
requires some practice. But then, fly-dressing generally is a
question of material knowledge, and practice.
