There are as many ways to 'attempt' to make
the darn things stick as there are kinds. They
just do not like to stick well no matter what
a guy does. I have tried bending them a bit
and that helps, but this really works. Thanks
to Steffie Taylor for this one.
When you have the head ready for the eyes, start
a length of fine clear mono-chord.
Then make a couple of wraps right over the eyes,
it will completely disappear when you coat the
head and the thread will bind the things down
tightly, forming them to even the smallest heads.
Works great, try it. ~ JC
