By the time I got 3 or 4  half bottles of thick Sally's sitting in my desk draw, I decided to buy a can of acetone and now just add a dash when it gets thick.

I don’t use head cement often so it lasts me a long long time. I just go get a new bottle when it gets goopy and it goopy.

Nice, are those furled tails, or just a single string of material?

The red is a single strand of mop chenille. The pink and chartreuse are also single stranded mop chenille, but it's a little stiffer material.

@DFoster, that starling wing really looks great. 

@flytire, the Pretty One is exactly that. Did you need a sawhorse to wrap the Sweep?!! Awe inspiring as always
