I would use head cement instead of nail polish. Also, pick up a copy of Bass Pro's jig tying video. It's the best I've seen. I didn't see "scissors" on your list. You need a good pair of those.

Good luck! Jig tying's not hard. It just takes a little practice.

Yikes size 5? What are you going to tie with that? J/K somewhat! I am sure you can use it on 1/4 oz. jigs just fine and not have to double wrap like I do on 1/8 and 1/4.

Cement and thinner. you need to thin that stuff or it will leave a hard spot.

I use nail polish, but not on the thread or chenille. Only to clear coat over eyes and a few other things like that.
