Simple Tying Bench Tip

[SalarMan 0]

This simple tip keeps your bodkins clean and free of head cement residue.

Buy a commercial/restaurant type salt shaker, pack tightly with copper scrubbing pad material and there you have it. Works like a charm.

Another fine idea. I stick with the copper simply because it doesn't rust.

Another tip. When tying in small bead chain or dumb bell eyes make one wrap around the eyes and then pull down onto the hook

They will be placed exactly where you want them.

Excellent tips gentlemen thank you!  I bought one of these waspi applicator bottles to keep from applying head cement with my bodkins.  I filled it with Sally Hansen's and after 5 months it hasn't dried or thickened.  It allow super accurate cement placement and works as shown here in the video.

I always have a paper towel handy on my tying desk.
