I told my girlfriend about your little rope-dubbing-the-cat idea. She is going to England next week... but she's not that sure anymore. ;o)
You meant the dark voiced Veronica with the big bush under her nose, right? I have read about it on "her" web site and I also use it frequently. Never tried with the cat hair though, maybe should do that. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 21 juli 2004 18:09 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: Re: SV: [VFB] Home made dubbing... Nick, ask Veronica about rope dub technic. You will be able to dub the cat's hair (and maybe the cat as well <G>); Rene -----Original Message----- Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 17:27:36 +0200 Subject: SV: [VFB] Home made dubbing... From: "Niclas Runarsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We got a cat... and I've tried tying from that one. My girlfriend gave me a chunk of hair once after brushing it. It looked like she had shaved a porcupine so it wasn't much to tie with and I terminated the project rather quickly... obviously too quickly to realize that belly hair is a totally different thing... which, in that chunk, didn't have a high concentration. Thanks for the tip/reminder. I will tell her the NEXT time she brushes it... do the belly part separately and dont mix the chunks. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r Jimmy D.

I frequently use brushed belly hair from my two cats. Good like it is. Beeswax your tying thread and apply - instant dubbing. No need to do anything else with it. My two cat's belly hair is white. You don't like white - use brushings from other areas on the cat. One of mine is a calico and the other is gray and black. Both have white bellys and both love to be brushed. Just ask Ian Mitchell about cat dubbing. He's tied some mighty neat flies with hair from his kitties. Don't have a cat . . . .? :-D
