4/0 Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 I have some Waspi head cement and every time I use it it drys " milky looking " not clear. It is solvent based . The thread is some Ultra and Danville 210 flat lightly waxed and also some polyester thread,, " milky " on all of these. I would like to have something that I can have in a dropper bottle with a needle type tip as I am tying. Using Bucktail and sometimes some synthetic type hair from LPO. Thanks.

TerryF2858 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 It could be the solvent is reacting to the wax on the thread, I do not use any thread with wax on for my bucktails, and I use clear lacquer from the auto store, it is premixed and I just poke 2 holes in the top, and put screws in the holes to reseal it. my thread is nylon size a.

Anyfish Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Not sure what causes the problem. I typically use clear hard as nails finger nail polish. You may be able to put it in the type of container you noted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4/0 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Thanks, I used to use a lot of lacquer when I was building cabinets. Have been using some of the hard as nails because of the " milky" problem. The Waspi seems like it penetrating better but the end color is bad. I'm using a throw away brush and this what it drys like on the bristles. The squeeze type bottle with the needle would be convenient.

Fatman Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I don't know what to tell you as I don't use any on my hair ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4/0 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 I"ll just chalk it up to experience. The goal was to bind the hair and try to get a buildup on the thread when finished. I ordered some " Hard as Hull" and we"ll see how that goes. Thanks, 4/0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
