Re: [VFB] Head cement vs nail polish

On my larger saltwater flies I use a lot of epoxy and glitter on the noses.  That keeps everything in line up there.   :) Deb ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 10:55 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Head cement vs nail polish Maybe it's overkill, but I use both. I tie mainly for salt and warmwater. The species I target (and the ones I end up catching) do a pretty good job of wrecking flies. When my flies get mangled, and they do, it's rarely the threads that go. When I finish coat with head cement and then let it dry. Then I follow up with a coat of sally hansen's hard as nails (with nylon). If they're my barracuda/shark flies I put a second coat on. Again, it might be overkill but it's been working for me. For warmwater (bass & peacocks) I usually just do one coat of sallys. Ken - Florida
