I don't fly fish and I haven't been here in awhile but I went searching for your videos lately and boy am I glad to see you're still posting. These are fascinating and informational and I'm happy to still have them to watch.
Mr. Ord Clark, I really enjoy your channel, and would like to thank you for going to the trouble and taking the time to do it. It is greatly appreciated. By the way, I just ordered your book, Fly Tying Techniques, today and can`t wait for it to get here. Thank you for creating the book, I know it will be one of my favorite fly-tying books in my library.
2:1 ratio of rosin and beeswax, and just a little neutral oil (like olive oil) for mixing and some thinning. while it's still melted I pour it into a small container. I just use empty smokeless tobacco tins.
@@electrontube I just rub a bit between my hands, it's sticky enough for natural fibres, the only time I add rosin is if using nylon/dacron etc. dubbing mat.
I don't have a video, but the recipe is: 15% bee's wax 65% rosin 20% Castor oil Once you have made it and it dries, it will seem hard to the touch, but a small piece, kept on your finger for a couple of minutes will keep it pliable on soft. Good luck!
Beauty BOC, looks perfect for Caddis and Chironomid. BTW: nice job narrating "The River Bank". A man of many talents. Good fishes and hatches!!

Thank you, a better response, I couldn't ask for!
Great fly, do you have a video on how you make your dubbing wax that I see? When I tried it, it came out hard.
I use the raw beeswax you get at the fabric shop 10lbs for 5 bucks, just cut a chunk and go. The smell of it seems to be a boon.
