Hi all, I've been tying bloodworms with globrite No4 for the body. How many coats of Hard as nails do you use? So far I'm up to 6 and they just look better and better.

Pretty much just as many as it takes, keep it thin and you can get about 8 coats on some flies

Thanks for the prompt reply. It's a new bottle so it is very thin. I think I'll leave some at 6 coats and carry on with some of the others until I think they look overdone. I leave it a couple of hours between coats and they look glassy to my eyes.
