thick varnish

[wileybugger]

In this months TROUT AND SALMON theres a piece on tying thredless buzzers only using varnish It says to use THICK VARNISH ,I think they meant SALLY HANSENS how do you thicken it as its very runny and just drops off the underside and doesnt form a thorax like in the pictures. B4 you all say BISTO ill say it

Use an old bottle, the mroe you open and close it the thicker it gets. The article wasnt by Scratch from here was it? Havent read it but have seem the varnish only buzzers he ties and they look brilliant.

How about using bugbond as you can then shape the thorax the way you like it.

[roll cast]

Decant some into a smaller container and leave the lid off this and then check it reg. until until you get right consistancy

It was - you could ask him or pm directly on here

I used the Thick Sally approach for mine

i build mine up with 3 or 4 coats of nail varnish(more coats on the thorax than body).Have been toying with the idea of the UV varnish but the initial outlay has put me off so far

all the best Nick
