Dubbing question

[Steven]

I'd use the same split thread technique. Put the dubbing in, wind the head until it is "full" enough. Then make a loop around my finger with any excess. (Hold your index finger level and below the hook shank wrap the thread with excess dubbing round your finger). Then take a couple of turns of thread around the hook shank. You can now trim the excess dubbing and thread out. The dubbing will come out of the waste loop easily to be re used on the next one.

Cheers,
A.

Another method would be to just act as if you were making a new dubbing loop with the excess dubbing in the new loop. Wrap back and forth over the loop as you would normally in order to close the top. Then cut off the loop.

In effect, this is what Alan is suggesting but it may save a little time.
