Hi there, first i would like to say thank you for some nice tips. Ton foil book and wire twisted together with peacock barb.... Those were cool and useful.
What is puzzling me is name... Klinkhamer. Klinkhamer is parachute on curved hook. This has only curved hook. Which may have been closed with egg sack a bit too much.
Cdc V cut out can easily be done prior to tying CDC in...
Anyway, i will see some more of your vids. Cheers
Vladimir

Love the pattern Andrew. Have you tried this with a burnt wing instead?

[@TightLinesinNJ]

Hi, Thank you for watching. Yes. It's more difficult to fold into a tent wing if the wing in not glued or taped, but you can burn 2 feathers and tie them in tented or leave the feather flat for profile.

Can you describe how you make the tin foil “book” that you use in applying the Solarez? Thanks.

[@TightLinesinNJ]

Hi Wesley, Just take a small rectangle piece of tin foil and double it over and double it over one more time. You can fold it once, but twice makes it a bit more rigid and durable. Thanks for watching! Andrew

@@TightLinesinNJ Andrew, Thanks for the generous, comprehensive reply. I'm looking forward to using your "book."
