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 is my worst nightmare. Wax-no wax-spit, you name it and the
dubbing still falls off the thread. I started using cactus chennille, mohair
etc to make fake dubbing but it is not the same
