ramsis_iv 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2009 I have read in several magazines that you can use the trimmings from bass bugs, mudlers and such for dubbing. However I've never seen a description, nor have I been very successful doing this. I would like some pointers and preferably a video. So far I think that the only material wich would work worse for dubbing is toothpicks.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2009 Great links scotfly. Using a dubbing loop is the best method when dubbing with deer or elk hair for durability. You can standard dub but it is usually useful to use quite a bit of wax and mix in a little bit of fine dubbing along with the hair. Warning: if you are standard dubbing a lot of it, it will make your fingers raw. Dubbing with deer hair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramsis_iv 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2009 I see, the pictures really helped, I was imagining something very different. This dubble dubbing loop thing is new to me, I deffintetly have to try it! (I was trying to dubb in a way do that I endet up with every strand of hair sepparated, basically like a feather with deerhairfibers....but now I understand that I am suppused to treat it almost like regular dubbing) Thanx alot!
