Tedley 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2013 I make traditional black cobblers' wax. It coats thread well, is very sticky and sets hard. Used by a number of fly tyers as well as hand sewing leather and used by bagpipers. Email: [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s fontinalis 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2013 easy to make, 6.5 rosin:2.5 Wax:1 oil This will make it slightly softer than 7:2:1 ratio, but equally as tacky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

william anderson 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2013 Ray, I have a new batch that you'll be intersted in. I have been trying to work out the right blend for waxing gossamer silk for the prespun bodies made using the spinning blocks. It's the firmest blend for me, to date, but i'll keep tweaking it. If you find a good source for the cobblers wax, please let me know. I'd love to have a pinch around for comparison. Just for those interested in the hard resin, I use violin rosin. It's cheap and easy to find. w Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
