deadlystreamer Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hello civicdx, Sounds like a good idea for a Tutorial. I'll work on that and see what I can come up with. Deer hair can be tricky to work with, but once you master it, you can make about anything with a hook, deer hair, thread, lacquer and small scissors. If you have a question, shoot me a PM and I'll see if I can help. Tutorial in the making.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8flyz Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 CC, generally it refers to head cement. Some of the older tyers often mention lacquer because the older types of head cements were just that, clear lacquer. Lacquers dry relatively fast, and hard, and have a high gloss, glass like appearance, when used properly. They also soak into most threads very well, so they help bind the head together for a very durable finish. Lacquers were used extensively for auto finishes at one time, as well as commercial jig head paints. If you have lacquers available, they're fine to use for fly tying, just take care when using them with some plastics, and with proper ventilation. The solvent will destroy some types of plastics, and is nasty stuff to breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
