Do you use thinners with your head cement ? If so how thin do you like making your cement ?



Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.

I do use thinners Dave. No real secret formula when it gets a little too thick and stringy I add some thinner.

Hi Dave
I gave up on head cement and thinners a while back..Whatever kind
of head cement I got always seemed to thicken up very rapidly and
the thinner always seemed to evaporate way too soon.
Now I use Sally Hansen-Hard as Nails finger nail polish to hold
everything together and build up shiny heads..Have been using the same bottle for a year now and it still has not started to thicken to
the degree that it requires thinner. If it does I have a 340 ml bottle
of polish thinner-remover...total expenditure for both was less than $5.00.

Stephen


Happy Fishing and Tying
