While we are on the topic of sewing out, I'd like to ask a question. When
ending a project, I tie a square knot and sometimes another knot, so there are
3 half hitches, with each pair, as I've read that is what should be done. The
knots have length to them, though I want them to be snug to the

Hello Dan and ever
Hello Dan and everyone
I'd say give it a try! There are water-based as well as the lacquer-based
head cements, yes?
Ether way, I don't think very much is needed to secure the thread end, the
tiniest of dabs, and shouldn't affect the rest of the lace.
Other items used in fly-tying and -fishing
I’d be a worried that the oil in this head cement would penetrate the lace
further than the spot where you put it. Oil changes the colour of natural
fibres - I’ve damaged dozens of T-shirts when a small drop of oil turned into a
nickel-sized stain! You can scrub a T-shirt and use stain removers
