wayneb 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2010 Hi Letumgo & Hot Tuna; How do you use skeeter fuzz? Not familiar with a dubbing of that texture. Wayne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2010 The material comes in a long strand. To use the dubbing, just pinch the fibers at the end and pull some loose. You should get a small whispy pinch of dubbing. The fibers are very fine and will dub very easily on your thread. Use the dubbing for dry fly bodies, emergers, & terrestrial patterns. The texture of the dubbing is similar to silk dubbing, or fine beaver dubbing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green hackle 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2010 Just out of curiosity, what is the average wait for an order. I ordered on the 16th and am still waiting for my first order. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayneb 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2010 Hi green hackle; My last order, placed April 14th took 7 days. Wayne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayneb 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2010 Hi Ray/Letumgo; thanks, never used beaver either. Now I know how to use both. Wayne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckingFluff 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 Just out of curiosity, what is the average wait for an order. I ordered on the 16th and am still waiting for my first order. Thanks. My first order took almost 5 weeks but was well worth the wait and I'd order from him again. The longest on another thread was 19 weeks. He's cheap his product is top notch but the times for delivery will change from one to the next. Enjoy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayneb 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 Hi All; Placed a birthday special order April 26th, received May 1st. I wonder if the Mad Scientist is able to process orders faster if you've ordered a couple of times. Perhaps the shipping information is in the system allowing him to process and ship faster.

gpd4 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 I got another order in the mail from him today. Ordered on the 21st. He wasn't kidding when he called it 'wierd deer type hair' Hell of a deal...and bound to inspire great creativity (I have no idea what I'll make with it!) Awesome deal on the dubbing, too!

Wayne I think it's only faster if he has it in stock. I think the delay comes from when he needs to make more. He's a very busy guy trying to do his best to get a quality product out at a low price.

NJFlyMAn 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 I also got my order today..I have no clue what to use the "weird" hair for? I have three pieces that I'll give away if anybody wants them? Just PM your Addy and I'll send them out. First post that says "I want them" takes all three. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
