    Default wite-out for eyes

    I haven't attempted it yet but has anyone tried wite-out for painting eyes on streamers? The stuff is supposed to be waterproof. I'll let you know how I made out

    I think my Wite-Out dried up because of Y2K. I remember it being a little lumpy and flat in tone. White nail polish would be a better choice, IMHO.

    Never tried it, but, if it does not work, I use fabric paint which comes in small tubes in many colors and can be purchased at your local Wally World. I figure if it does not come off clothing in the washer, it will stay on my poppers.

    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.

    White-out dries flat (as opposed to glossy), so would not be my first choice. I'd go with Uncle Jesse's suggest or just plain acrylic model paint.

    X2 on the fabric paint. I use the butt end of drill bits to get almost perfect circles.

    I would opt for something other than wite_out. Nail heads work the same way as the drill bits for circles.
