letumgo 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 Here is a link to the article I wrote last summer on making stand for organizing flash and thread. You could substitute wooden dowels for the brass rods to cut down on the cost of the materials. http://hatchesmagazine.com/page/july2006/212 Hope this helps.

Fly Tyer Guy 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 I roll peices of paper up and put tape around the outside to make a tube. Slide the flash in the tube, And pull it out the other side when you need it. (Make sure the tube is pretty lose). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyboyutah 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 While you guys are on the subject of flash and storing . Does anyone have same problem as I do with static electricity when using the flashabou ? It seem like every time I pull it out to use it , the stuff goes crazy like a bad hair day, ( back whan I had hair that is :hyst: ) steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick N 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2007 Store it with a used dryer sheet. There is near zero static, and if there is any, just a quick pull through a new sheet will get rid of it. I dont store my flash with new sheets, as they leave a residue, but they are handy for quice, once throughs. I also wipe down my vise and hair stackers with a dryer sheet when I work with hair.

Ron Eagle Elk 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Kayak, That's pretty slick. Good idea. How do you keep your tying area so neat. I'd better never let VEE see this pic. REE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
