Thanks for the reply's
Mato are you saying plumbers seal is as good as commercial wax + i was just wondering if there was any scots fisherman about(4 a blether aboot the fishin)
What is the easiest way to apply dubbing and still achieve a slim but distressed look for tying say hares ears/bob's bits /hoppers etc do you suggest waxing the thread or is their cheaper easier alternatives. is there anybody here from scotland?
