Your worst material

[silversedge]

What is your worst material to use? Mine would have to be floss,having welders hands that are as rough as a badgers ar$e it just seems to disintegrate when i even look at it

[BRUCE1]

[fishfinger]

Mine has to be Emulsion paint can't get on with it at all My missus thinks its the greatest thing since sliced bread and loves buying it

Yep floss can be tricky but Polar Fibre is pretty bad stuff for me - I have never been able to sit the stuff correctly and I have now given almost all of my stocks away!

As I have not been tying long I have not used that many materials , but of the ones I have used I find Squirrel tail a ****er as it slips and slides all over the place

Trying to dub antron wool strands is a fool's errand as far as I'm concerned.
Rarely have I seen a material that springs off the waxed thread with such joie de vivre.
Truly horrible stuff!

I used to have difficulty with dubbing seals fur, but then I learned the trick of spitting on my fingers.

I can now dub this stuff like a pro.

Chopping it up and blending it in a coffee grinder with either a natural or more benign synthetic material works well.

Antron is basically carpet fibre and as such its main design attribute is that it's hard wearing, hence its relative stiffness - great for wing posts - b1tch to dub.

Fraying and curling flexifloss type materials.

Deerhair does it for me or should that be doesnt do it for me. Plus it makes me look like I have just been up close and personal with a labrador/ alsation etc. Nice!!!
