Description

The texture of the wax is related to temperature. It is moderate at room temperature, softens when exposed to high temperatures, and hardens at low temperatures.

• Soft = best for dubbing.
  • Texture: Sticky, pliable, slightly oily.
  • Benefit: Helps hold dubbing fibers firmly to the thread. Ideal for beginners or when working with slippery dubbing (like seal’s fur, rabbit, or synthetics). Great for building shaggy, buggy bodies.
• Medium = all-rounder.
  • Texture: Less tacky, smooth, easy to apply without clumping.
  • Benefit: Versatile—enough grip for dubbing, but not overly sticky. Good for general-purpose tying, nymphs, and dry flies where you want control but not bulk.
• Hard = best for thread control and small flies
  • Texture: Firm, smooth, almost “crayon-like.” Needs a little heat from your fingers to apply.
  • Benefit: Doesn’t gum up the thread. Ideal for small, delicate flies (e.g., midges, tiny dries) where you want slim dubbing bodies and fine thread control. Also good for whip finishing.

Keep in a cool place.
