Re: One way making Mayfly wings
Looks great, Tob1. Is the chenille made from two pieces glued together in a twist? If so, which glue do you use to bind them? Love the burned tip.

 It is no glue that hold the chenille together only the heat from the flame. Do not impregnate the yarn before you do the heating - it may easily take fire. tob1

Some floatant is very flammable so melt down the chenille before you treat it with some floatant. tob1
