Thank you for explaining you technique on how to stand up a EP para-post. I've been tying for 55+ yrs. and no-one has demonstrated this method so well .Excellent 😅👍I don't have 30 D nano silk but I do have it in 24 D .I'll try it and see if I have to make a trip to my supplier's stop. Thanx again .tight lines .

@Mike Clarke: The video is not on a pattern, but on a technique. There are no materials lists on these tips.

[@agrifoguy]

Good video but the material list should be listed

Great Video, thanks for the tip on using Water Silk. Have you tried to use Hi-Float Fibers in place of Water Silk?

[@ghart91]

Great job. I never thought of that and would just keep bending the wing back. What would you do with Poly Propylene Yarn to make it float better?

[@MartinJoergensen]

Simply treat it with a floatant. Wayne mentions that. Do it while tying or streamside.

EP Fibers I understand are pretreated with Water Shed. Water Silk is untreated, but can be treated with Water Shed (or another silicone water repellent) prior to or after tying . Or wait and apply your favorite floatant when fishing. Both appear to be identical Nylon products.

My mistake - I should have written EP Trigger Point Fibers.
