Default Quill Bodies

Hi all
When tying peacock quill buzzers do you still varnish the bodies.
If so is it ok to Sally Hanson Hard as Nails

Cheers Gazza

48 hrs to finish a fly .. WHY 12 HRS , it only needs around 10 mins to harden and when ya put other coats on no matter how long ya leave it it softens the coat underneath any way ian ??
