Piker20 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 Depending on the cost i can see a place for coloured UV resin on my desk. Not really new items but some of the chenille from flybox is very varied and can spice up traditional patterns that call for hackle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whatfly 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2018 Sulky Sliver Metallic. Not really all that new but only "new" material that I've incorporated into more and more patterns. Really hasn't been that much new out lately it seems, or perhaps I've finally slowed down trying new materials, no matter how unlikely that sounds.

notenuftoys 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2018 What exactly is the point of two tone beads? It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure about the application. I'm definitely interested in the colored UV, depending on price. I just ordered some Nature's Spirit grizzly turkey biots. I'm real interested to see if they give the color variation when wrapped that I'm expecting. Hopefully I'll get them before Thanksgiving, but whenever I get them I'll post an update here.

wr1nkles 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2018 Matte Tungsten beads https://fireholeoutdoors.com/firehole-stones/ Those are awesome! Even though I can't see the benefit of a matte bead, I can't help but buy them... EDIT: I added everything I wanted to my cart then realized it was crazy money and I'd be slaughtered if I spent that much. Maybe after the holidays Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phg 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2018 I got some Solerez Bone Dry UV resin at the Symposium last weekend. That stuff is great for head cement! Water thin, so it soaks into the thread, and then zap for 6 seconds to cure. No muss, no fuss, no tackiness. I'm going to be using that a lot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike West 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2018 I bought a razor blade holder.... I can’t remember who makes it but it was one of the first company’s to come out with one. I rarely use it. Every once in while it serves a purpose but I’m more comfortable just using my hands. I think if you grew up learning to trim deer hair with one of those it might feel natural to you. Mine is a lot simpler ... there’s a couple threads on these things around here somewhere one is really over engineered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
