Northwoods,
While surfing through the "Tying Tips" section on FAOL, I came across this tip that may be useful in the future with your next new bottle of head cement. It stated that as you use head cement and the amount in the bottle goes down, it allows more air into the bottle which then causes the head cement to start evaporatiing which then causes it to get thicker and unuseable. The tip was to add marbles to the bottle of head cement which will raise the liquid up to the neck of the bottle which will stop the evaporation process. Keep adding marbles until you have used up the head cement. I have not tried this tip, but, it does make sense.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
