Feel free to add your own rules:
2. Do NOT whip finish around the hook eye.
3. Check that everything is where it's supposed to be BEORE applying glue.
4. Do NOT exceed the breaking strength of the thread.
5. Do NOT glue your fingers to the jig head.
Me and glue have a rocky relationship at times. :banghead
Sounds like you need to invest in a head cement applicator bottle for precision use.

Glue and feather bits can be very festive on one's fingertips :biggrin
Mostly its due to violating rule one and then touching the head.:biggrin
I've been using Krazy Glue brush on and like it pretty well.
That head applicator is needed at times for sure and has crossed my mind. Later maybe.

Put the glue down, no need for it. Lol
If you think the glue is dry, wait longer.
Yet it will dry instantly when it contacts the moisture in your fingers
I thought of a good one earlier.....but forgot.
Don’t use the rotary vice with an open bottle of glue in the that hand.
I itched to primarily UV glue.Apply, Hit it with the light for a few seconds, and it set enough o touch...
This is a big one, remember to take the jigs you just tied when you go fish in the morning. The glue will be dry by then.
When tying marabou, don't sneeze.
Nothing like having a bunch of scrap in waste catcher and sneeze. Looked like someone had explodes a rainbow chicken on my tying desk.Quote:

Ship that rule is a big #1 in our house also. She doesn't even like the waste catcher to be half full. LOL
I have to tie in the outhouse, so mess is no problem. At least in there I'm the boss.
126. The hook is sharp.
do not turn on ceiling fan . also tip for using brush on glue or sally hansens trim the brush to a point with a razor blade
What do you do for lighting? First rule: Never tie lures in a dark outhouse. A Big old bass might come out of that muck and mire and snatch your .................vise. :Rofl:Rofl:Rofl:RoflQuote:
