I hope this won't be considered a shameless plug. I use pine pitch in the cobblers wax which gives the color on silk thread. What Pryce-Tannatt says about white wax isn't true of mine. I make it similar to the wax in Leisenring's book (Keene's) but I use better quality ingredients. It's perfect for flymphs. Bill
