Is it a picture of a dead president?

Try peeling the fibers from the stem insted of cuting. Its the same thing you do when you peel the fluffy freaters from the base of the stem when you prep a dry fly hackel,but your trying to keep the tips lined up. 1st with the fibers on the stem bend the fibers so that the tips line up. 2ed with the tips lined up pinch the fibers so that the aligned tips are traped between your fingers. 3ed Gently peel the fibers away from the stem. With the fibers traped in the pintch it shouldnt misalign them. 4th cut the peeled stem away from the fibers close to the base of the fibers. once you have cut the peeled stem away fron the fibers , the fibers will not want to realign themselves. Mount them to the hook in the usual way.

Thanks for the info TB.

It works, kids blowing bubble mix works too. If you can, remove the flotation bladder from the shell, blow it up , and use the soap bubble mixture to find the leak. You donk want to use straight dish soap because it too thick, but you can water it down. Let the tube blowing bubbles thru the leak show you where it is.

Ok im in.
