Alan, Your post on laying down the Moose hair never showed up on my computer so I will reply here. I hold the two strands together and lift them side bu side. Apply a but of glue on the shank and wrap the two strands together side be side the dark strand and the light strand together. Makes a real nice Mosquito body. Tony

I'll try and find the place on the video, re-watch it, and post how he does it to get them to lay down correctly, Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Di Somma To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2012 5:02 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Stripped quills needed I tried to use the Moose mane but could not get them to lay properly.

Wrapped them together at the same time on the shank giving me the alternating colors for the body.

I took a smallish grizzly hackle and pulled all the bards off both sides and used it for a quill body. CHEAP and functional.

And one tiny whiff of bleach gives me the worst headaches I have ever had. So, does anybody either have some they'd trade, or know a place I can buy them for less than $3.95 per 24??
