If your having problems with dubbing you are trying to put too much
on the thread. Try starting with the smallest amount of dubbing you
can see... a wisp of dubbing so small that it will float if you drop
it. You will be amazed at how easily it goes on the thread. I
haven't found ANY dubbing material that can't be dubbed on ordinary
thread if you start with a small enough amount.
The only time I use wax (other than the wax that is already in the
thread) is when I am tying with the Lafontaine "touch dub"
technique, which only works if you use an ultra tacky wax.

dubbing still falls off the thread. I started using cactus
chennille, mohair etc to make fake dubbing but it is not the same
