Just a hint, maybe you are using too much dubbing.
Take the dubbing you plan on using, cut it in half then just use half of that. Most dubbing problems is trying to roll too much on the thread at one time. Another thing, if you are right handed, roll the dubbing towards the eye of the hook. As you wrap the dubbed thread, it will twist with the dubbing and tighten it on the thread. I have been dubbing for years without wax, I hate to use it even when I am using materials that do not lend to dubbing like seal and some synthetics. If I am forced to use wax then I will. My green tube of Wonder wax is about 18 years old , still is almost full.
Take a bit of dubbing between your thumb and first finger, rubbing it between the two fingers spread it apart. Pinch the spread dubbing on the thread and give just a slight roll away from the hook eye then roll it towards the eye. This is done all in one motion. Press the two fingers tight on the thread as you roll the dubbing. Once you get the hang of it, it comes automatically.
Give it a try, you might find it is easier than you think.

As a newbie, I often have ideas about how do do some things, but I have a feeling that you all have been through my trails and tribulation. I was having some problems with dubbing my flies. I have been using the wax that came with my "starter kit" but the fur never seemed to stick. So I got to thinking about those glue sticks we have at work, similar to paste. Seems to help with getting fur to stick to the thread, but I am worried it is going to fall apart once it hits the water. Anyone tried this before?
Maybe I should not try and reinvent the wheel.
