Fly Tying Wax Skull

Fly tying wax in the shape of a skull for extra mojo. From the bench of Barry Ord Clarke, this tying wax is a great addition to the bench.

Apart from the obvious advantages of using wax to make tying easier with natural threads such as cotton and silk more durable, waxing your own thread makes easy work of applying and attaching materials to the hook, creating better friction between thread and material and anchoring them in place with only a couple of wraps of thread. Its also extremely useful when dubbing, if a little is applied to the thread before spinning your dubbing it will render the thread Tacky and make the adhering of the dubbing material easier.
