Hi Myron!

The experts will give you the correct answer soon, but I've always
solved this problem by using reverse palmering:

That is indeed the best way to do it. Easier application, better appearance,
and greater durability. There is no real point in using any other method,
although traditionally salmon flies are palmered somewhat differently, in
order to obtain a special appearance.
