Re: [VFB] Stacking hair

Chuck:    Look at the positive side, your flies will smell good with that baby powder.  I might be wrong, but I don't think you'll ever get all your tips even.  I know I don't.  In fact I want a bit of a taper in my deer hair wings.  One suggestion, don't over load your stacker.  If I'm building a deer hair fly, like a Muddler.  I want the tips to be uneven and flare on the first piece I stack and spin.  After the first bunch, I trim the tips off before stacking and spinning.  Just my preference on how to do it.   Jerry C "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."    In a message dated 8/5/2005 16:37:43 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Folks: I am having really bad problems with my hair stacker when using any hair finer than, say Elk hair... I tap it repeatedly on the table, and like my DVD said.. I put a little baby powder on the hair stacker sides and even on the hair, but I still get uneven ends on hair that is not stiff... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance, Chuck
