This is genius. After a recommendation to buy this wax I was simply running my thread through it having cut the full piece in half. Since doing this I no longer get any frayed thread, no small chunks of hard wax in my touching turns and actually see the benefits of a good soft sticky wax and no more slippages. You’re a gentleman Davie for posting this video. Top man

had a puck of this sitting on my desk for 2 years until coming across this! thank you so much Davie! It makes such a difference, especially at the head! Total legend!

Thanks Davie! 👍🏻

Hey Davie. Thanks for answering my question, and may I say, all the help you have given us over many years, it has been well appreciated ! Thank you.. G

I applaud you! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Davie - great stuff - I never would have thought of that. Your videos on patterns are really excellent too - very clear and well filmed. Have you considered doing a video on how you store your materials? This has always been a pain to me and it would be good to see how an expert does it! Thanks

Thanks for this tip Davie....when I am tying a PBP waxing the thread holds the bristles in place. Without the waxing they slip to the top and you finish up with a clump of bristles. Keep the hints and tips coming, we do appreciate them

Thanks for that Davie, all those little tips help. Thanks again for sharing. Iain

Great tip Davie, it's all those little things that make fly tying easier! Thanks kindly for your videos! :)

So simple, but very useful, I hadn't thought of it. Thanks.

This is a helpful tip. Thanks. Just got my Veniard wax and your instructions came in handy.

Hey Davie, I ordered some Veniards I really enjoy your Videos. I am in the USA South East, in the Northern part of Alabama. I also got into the Tenkara, Thanks again. You make it all easy!!!!

I always wondered about this. Thanks!

Great tip. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you Davie, I had ordered some of this from Peter and wanted to know how you prepared and used it. Great info!

Brilliant Davie 👌👍.

Great & Thanks, Davie!

I would like to commend you for passing on your knowledge and tips. Many thanks George

Nice tip. A few more of you preparation tips and tricks videos would be very welcome!

many times I have had feathers slip yip no wax to help bite the feathers ,will definitely use this tip Mr mcphail 👍👍👍

Thank you Davie!! I plan on doing this!

Bud i love ur video's. I watch them faithfully and i learned soo much and i thank you for that. Bud did u ever think about live streaming on KZfaq. If u do i will be the 1st to watch and i know 100% bud Alot of people will love to see u live. Cheers 🍻🍻

Another brill tip Davie 👌 I think the heat of your hand n such a thin disc would help keep it slightly soft aswell. Iv severed more threads arrgh! with the wax being hard this is a really great tip. Thanks

Thanks Davie, so simple.

Great tip.

Awesome 👍😃👍

Thanks Davie. Pretty cool. David

Thanks Davie, I have been trying different methods, I will do this.

i all ways did wonder how you did that dave and it will get a bit of heat of skin keeping soft thanks dave

A good deal of the time my fly tying goes awry it's because I've forgotten to wax my thread. A small but important step in the process!

great info cheers.

Davie, I'd been hoping you'd do a tutorial on your wax! Thank you!

Thanks Davie! I've been wondering how you do that. And you didn't even have to wait until the wife was out of the house like with the CDC!

Going to give that a wee go while I have some time on my hands.

Love your videos Davie! am only a beginner at this Art so love to see any tips you might have .

Thanks for sharing Davie! For years I have been blending beeswax, rendered pine sap and paraffin wax to make different grades of tying wax for touch-dubbing (as an adhesive), dubbing (to give better "traction" to my fingers), and for tying thread (to get better grip on some materials). Recently, I have started "wearing" a dab of wax on my finger as you do - find it very convenient not to have to search my desk for my wax. :-) Found that the best source of beeswax are the wax rings used by plumbers to seal toilet flanges and pine sap is easy to gather from mature trees that have had their lower branched pruned off. I use a double boiler on an electric element (outside!) to prepare the wax as all the components are quite flammable when melted. ATB! Hank

Thank you verry niece i love it and Wil youce it❤

I adopted the Davie wax dollop on digit technique long ago and really like the function. However, on several occasions I have forgotten about the wax dollop on digit and off to bed or out for a run only to discover!! Beware fellow fly tiers!!

Obrigado por me mandar resposta um abraço Mestre

Thanks Davie. Just bought the same wax and hadnt got a clue how to use it! Maybe helpful if Veniard put some instructions with it?

I always wondered what kind of wax you were using in your videos... Mystery solved!!

Have a question for you Davie. Even if you are using a waxed nylon thread, you still use this wax when tying? Also do you fish for carp with your flies? Do you think carp are spooked by the smell of fly tying wax? By the way I love your fly tying videos! Thank you for taking the time of making your fly tying videos!

hi Davie, thanks for sharing another great video.I've recently been looking around at good lake patterns to use here in Ireland, and I'm wondering if you could do some tying videos of more irish classics such as golden olive bumbles, fiery brown bumbles, etc. I know you've done dabbler and Sedgehog styles of the flies above but I believe bumbles work brilliant and they look good too. Thanks and best regards, Marc

Great stuff Dave,, here’s a question for you,,, when should you wax your thread? Thx

Do you sell any of your flies that you tie? If so please link. Thank you.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Hello Davie... I was making wax disks the other day with an old piece of Veniards' tying wax... one that had set out for years. It seemed to have small bits of one of the wax components in the disks. Tried quite a while to re warm and fold them back in but they would not... or would not much. Have you had your Veniards tying wax do that? Have you been able to get the bits to reincorporate? Does it matter, do you think? Mike

Thank you I was wondering what you did. My straight bees wax does not seem to be as sticky do you have any idea what it is mixed with?

Show show a onde eu posso comprar está produto aqui no Brasil um abraço

merci pour cette vidéo.j'ai du mal a trouver un site de vente de ce produit.Merci pour votre aide.

Davie, question, does bees wax do the job?

Can't find a USA source for this wax. Any ideas of an American equivalent?

Where can I purchase this wax.

thanks dave mcphil Allan McClenaghan used the same wax but first I have seen you prapar it cheers hope your well I'm no leg full of stiches do you want to take them out bring the tweezers 😆 lol Jimmys book is out I have had problems but contact you soon cheers mate the rest of yous dave is the best allrounder in the world cheers mate regards Allan McClenaghan Hamilton

Yay Davie... thank you very much! I've tried making my own tiers wax from this link... flyanglersonline.com/flytying/tyingtips/part139.php It didn't work. I couldn't get the rosin to melt (small tin can in pot of boiling water). I figure the failure came from our high altitude (6100 ft.) boiling temperature of water... 201 F. At near sea level I think it will work fine. And a person could try a microwave. We don't have one. Lastly, olive oil can be substituted for castor oil if it turns out to be difficult to find. Mike

how to put wax in hot water or boil water thank you William leggate

Head cement efficacy drastically inhibited by employing this method. I would refrain from using on the final whip finish.

Using wax while tying is completely unnecessary...
