What are you using for Head Cement

[Len]

Depends on what your doing with it. I just use my home made stuff (Lacquer and thinner) for the drop in the finish that is thinned well so it soaks in and can't be felt. If you clear coating over eyes then I too use Sally's. If your talking about a thread neck jig then I am probably using my home made Flexament.

I feel pretty sure all are i the sticky post above and if not all have been put in post on this board so a simple search will tell if you want these.

Hard as nails works for me too.

I use sally for a lot of things, but lately I've changed my ways with good results. I took the bottle of sally and thinned it with lacquer thinner about 50/50 and it soaks in much better than full thickness and sets fast. If I want a glossy coat I hit it a second time with regular thickness. I use a lot of it, but not near what Skip would use. The needle spout bottle helps me get it where it belongs a lot easier.

Thanks for the info!

I don't actually measure it, but I think close to 50/50 as I want it very thin and soak all in the chenille so you can't feel it at all, never. You may start off by trying 60%L/40%thinner. I use MEK because it's a better product than some and you can use it to thin vinyl too. So lots of uses plus really a good size can and probably never need to buy it again or at least 10 years or more. Think I bought 1 Qt. of Clear High Gloss Lacquer and that is all.

Oh and all you need really is one good drop.

My nature to overbuild. Point taken.

I quit head cement to get rid of the fumes. Used to use the regular head cement from the fly shop, then went to the nail polish, and then super glue. Now am fume free..... I use a loop of 6lb test line on a large button. I wrap over the line loop on the thread collar firmly about a dozen times starting at the rear of the collar and wrapping forward, ending at the jighead.....then cutting the thread with two inches to spare, slipping the end through the line loop and pulling under the wraps to the rear with the button. When it comes out the rear, just snip off. This method works great for a type of whip finish without having to contend with the whip finisher on and around the jighead. Quick, neat and clean.
