Chuck I thought that might be it. Clean it out as best you can because it builds bulk at the tie in point also and can cause the hair to loosen up when wet and pull out. Keeps the fly a little more attractive to humans also but the fish doesn't care. I've never used baby powder but I bet you smell real nice afterwards, might keep the wife from complaining about your new hobby. :0) Deb

I JUST went in there and stacked some real soft buck tail hair, but this time I made SURE all the under fur was out, and it was much better, Thanks, Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deborah Duran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 10:10 PM Subject: RE: [VFB] Stacking hair Chuck I'm curious as to what you're using to clean the under fur out before you try stacking it? Possibly you aren't getting all that soft under fur out of the hair before you try to even the tips in the stacker???

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
