Tying made easier

[Betty Hiner]

Thought I'd better show you all this great tip, before I use up all the materials needed to show you!

This tip was given to me at a Free State Fly Fishing meeting, and is a super way to control the tag ends of thread, floss, or mohair ... or anything on a spool! The black binder strip is from Kinko's. Cut each section at its natural middle, and pop them around the spool. Easy on, easy off, will roll around the spool as you remove materials. TaDa!!

Cool trick Betty. Actually there was once a product on the market called "Spovercoats" based on the same idea. I don't know if they are still available but I have a bunch that I bought and I still use them.

so last night I picked up the end of some errant floss and pulled - pulled - pulled @_*%^_!$

No more! Betty to the rescue!

Great tip, now to find a binder in the recycling. (one of the few great things about working at a college)
