I asked about biots thanks for doing a skill builder on them!
Brig did a great job getting the close-up on that goose biot.
Thanks Cheech! Nice job.
As an additional simple hack for the cap on “fly tyer’s z-ment” and similar style super glue bottles with applicators ,,, a bit of dubbing wax on the threads allows you to easily open the bottle throughout the life of the product without the need of vise-grips/ pliers. That idea came from your good buddy Tim Flagler many moons ago. It’s helped me tremendously!
Great video. I especially liked the sections on biots. I haven't tied many flies using biots so your tips are a great help. Thanks, Cheech.
Thanks for the tip about resin tips being interchangeable. It’s very helpful.
You are right and the critic saying nobody uses goose biots anymore is wrong. I’m in the middle of tying a batch of BWO Emergers with goose biot bodies for the local Healing Waters chapter.
Two suggestions: 1. Before cutting the super glue brush, give it a wipe with a paper towel to remove as much glue as possible. This will make it easier to shape the brush. This also works for nail polish or even paint brushes. 2. If Brigham is being to mean to you, get him back by switching out his hair product for some of the 77 spray adhesive. ;-) Side note: I ordered the 77 and wiil only use it outside after reading the precautions. Yikes. Upon further thought, don’t give it to Brigham and please check your own hair/beard products.
A friend of mine gave me a great advice on biots. Put them in a ziplock bag and put a small drop of olive/veggie oil in there. This will make them soft and easy to tie with.
Does the resin/glue still bond to that oily biot surface ok???
Well done and I appreciate the picture-in-picture to show simultaneous side and top views.
Applicator brushes: for smaller trout flies, I have one bottle of Sally Hansen’s with the brush removed and a hot needle inserted in the plastic stem. That allows me to cement the thread with no/minimal overage onto the adjacent feather barbs.
I like this series featuring a Cheech at the bench. Shows that even folks with big fat sausage fingers can fly ties ;)
I love using biots for bodies. On some fly patterns I could use as many as three goose biots. With turkey biots they are smoother and are good to use on longer bodied flies. As biots go, they make beautiful flys that are close to natural insects
Amazing video. Thank you very much for the knowledge and the laughs
The system used on these bottles shown is called Luer Lock.
Therefore all "Luer Lock Dispenser Tips" should work.
Maybe that will help too 😉
I love the skill builders.. TY
Skill builder idea…understanding threads is hard!
My z-ment bottle lid keeps gluing itself to the bottle! ugh tried putting some chap stick on it, keep cleaning it off... have to keep using my leatherman to open the dang thing!! haha
Would this qualify as a "Skill builder"? Must Have's in both fly fishing and fly tying? like a shopping list of stuff if I wanted to get everything needed to tie almost every fly I want to fish, nymphs, streamers, and dries, or at least have enough to substitute appropriate things? Oooh Knowledge Builders: How certain materials behave under water, are the fish just eating the bead? cheap materials vrs expensive ones, all the different thread types and what they're for and do. A real skill builder: How to sneak up on a fish? how long should my leader be? ooh and "why do I suck at euro nymphing even after doing it every week for a few hours for almost 2 years. =)
Do the slips next. Duck goose turkey…
Working on it. That’s my kryptonite but I’m getting closer
Yes please.
What do you do with Zap a Gap bottles with a thin nozzle when they plug up?
Throw em out. Then next time you buy CA glue buy zap a gap Z-Ment with a brush. It’s awesome
I’m dying to know how to remove the guard hair from a hare’s mask so I can tie up some hare’s ear nymphs. Please help!!!
It’s never just guard hairs. It’s dubbing with guard hairs left in. Pretty much any hares ear dub has guard hairs mixed in
