Re: [VFB] Who used wax in tying

[Brian Burgess]

My tying instructor always uses wax therefore as thats the way I was taught 
thats what I do.
I do think it helps trap hackle stalks a little better but will have a go 
without to see if i can get as good you guys.

As we are talking wax.
Are y'all using wax in your tying.
When I started tying the local shop (the only one I knew at that time)
soled Uni-thread, this stuff is pre-waxed, therefore I didn't bought
wax. Later when I started to use other threads (Gudebrod, ... (I'm not
home, cannot look into my thread warehouse)) I never used wax and had
never issues while dubbing. Well, Don, I know, rope dub don't need
wax....
Who is using wax on what flies and why? Who else is  not using wax?
