Hi Raider Hunter,

You've already gotten several good replies. The only thing I can add is Gorilla Glue's natural expansion can be used to make ant bodies directly on your hooks. It takes a bit of practice to get the right amount for a particular hook size but after placing the glue on a hook shank place it immediately in a rotating dryer to cure. A fly tier from Arizona named Gordon (something or other) once showed me an ant body he made out of some type of expanding glue but I don't remember who it was or the name of the product. Anyway regarding head cement, I recommend using a regular head cement or finger nail polish as already recommended by several other members of FAOL. Take care & ...
