cellulose enamel

[nfrechette]

heres one for the older tyers on the forum


i was reading one of herters books and some fly patterns referenced using "cellulose enamel" (or "celluloid enamel") on the back of some flies

i did a research on the internet before posting the question here but all i could find was that it was a paint? of some kind. very little info available


so does anybody know what it was or still have an old bottle laying around?


what would be a substitute?

I'm guessing it's a reference to Veniard's Cellire: https://www.stoneriveroutfitters.com...re-finish.html. It also comes in colors (black, white, yellow and red at least.)
