All I know is that we have a substance over here in England called Softex. This may help you as you apply it to the material and it forms a life like wing effect.
 
Perhaps you could try and find it in your local fly tying shop and give it a quick test on a bit of material.

I'm on the ever ongoing quest to find winging material or technique for
making real looking wings. Does anybody know how to make realistic wings out
of varnish & hackle feathers? Vlad? What it the technique for doing this?
Can anybody give me a step by step? Does anyone know of other winging
material that has realistic looking veins etc?
