Tulip Fabric paint has hit the fly tying world with a bang lately!! Tulip can be shaped into sheets, molded into many shapes on a hook, painted with nail polish, glued with epoxy, glued with super glue, and mixed with epoxy to give you any color you desire. Tulip comes in a variety of colors, with or without glitter. Tulip being water soluble, can be diluted to make it as thin in consistency as you desire.

When mixed with epoxy, use it sparingly! I suggest testing a little with the epoxy you are using to make sure of color and setting up time. I use Zpoxy on most of my flies. Devcon is also a good epoxy source. Epoxy will go yellow to light brown in time. Tulip might slow this process down, or maybe stop the process altogether.
