I just signed up but I have been enjoying your website for a while now. It is great. I look forward to getting some terrific information here.
My question is that after hearing about using Thompson's Water Seal to waterproof dry flies for some time now, I finally tried it and dipped a couple of my newly tied flies in it a few days ago. They are still quite wet and oily and have been stuck in some Styrofoam in the open air ever since then. Do they dry out eventually or do they remain wet and oily? Will they leave a slick on the water if they don't dry? The colors of the body materials have also turned very dark. Did I mess up? I need help!
Thanks,
Joe
