Soren,
I just finished reading that book the other day, I am reading his other book now. I go along with what he says in almost everything including the waxing though I think it is carried a bit far. He does a lot of tying things that I also do that are a bit different than others do. To each his own on the thread waxing. If a tyer likes doing it, by all means do it. I used to do it that way before "waxed tying thread" was on the market. I believe that dates me back a bit,
I will be contacting Ian and congratulating him on that book. I really think I will do some of his Paraloops at the Conclave in October. I am going to invite him to the Sowbug show in March.

I seldom use wax except when dubbing seal´s fur. But a couple of month ago I bought a book "Tying flies the Paraloop way" by Ian Moutter in which the author points out the advantages in using wax. He says is always put bee´s wax or similar onto the thread in order to "lock" the thread to the shaft and he also claims that the wax has a gluing effect on the dubbing material which makes the fly much more durable. But as I said above I almost never use wax myself.Soren----- Original Message -----From: Chuck AlexanderSent: Friday, August 26, 2005 7:25 AMSubject: [VFB] Dubbing WaxIf I only use pre waxed thread, do I still need dubbing wax????
