Tutorial of
TuffleyeTM Flex by Bob Popovics on his
new
“Flex
Fleye”
Wrap shank with body braid---Leave
thread at 1/3 from hook eye for room.
Tie in single tie of sheep fleece.
Note room for next step---Tie in wing material, Farrar Blend,
in reverse style being sure to spread fibers equally around
head.
Lay back
material and reposition the thread in front of material---Lach down
fibers equally around and ready for top
color.
Tie in top color same as under-color as
needed---Tie down in place and tie off. Construction
completed.
FIRST
coat of FLEX is applied at this time. Tiny dollops around eye
and thread area and smooth FLEX goo to the rear. Do not press
down, only skim it on fibers with the tip of the FLEX syringe
applicator. One side at a time might be helpful to some in
the beginning attempts. FLEX should reach behind hook bend
about 1/4" when finished --- Set eyes with small amount of FLEX
covering, dab, smooth and set it with BLUE
LIGHT.
After
eyes are secured in place, finish up with final coating of FLEX.
Keep it smooth by letting it level itself. Rotate if
possible for best distribution. And use BLUE LIGHT to set
flexible acrylic. ---Wipe residue with alcohol and removing
motion should be from left to right(in this photo). This
prevents residue from being carried over rear fibers and sticking
on them.
When dry
from residue bath, apply new TUFFLEYE TOP COAT (should be available
February - March 2010) for shiny, protective surface.
FINISHED “FLEX FLEYE”.
