| Does anyone have any suggestions? Am already using hard as nails laquer but wish to further cover with something I can shape/mold and further protect the thread. Thanks in advance. |

| I use Z-poxy 5 minutes over Zap CA.
The Zap penetrates the tie and the epoxy covers it with a nice shiny layer.
Some people ask me what kind of bead that is i use in front of the hair.
Make sure the Zap is completely dried before you put on the Z-poxy or the poxy will look milky, think because of chemicals in the Zap. |

| I use Devcon 2 ton 5 min. epoxy. You can shape it easily if you need too. I wanted to see how durable it was so I tied one up and pulled it apart, it took a good bit of work. |

| i like the slow dry epoxy for my bucktail cover the 5 min stuff breaks down in heat and wet faster then the 60 minute stuff put the bucktail on a electric drying motor after you apply epoxy and it looks like glass and it will never break down as long as mix is evenly mixed .

| Sounds rediculous but good old fashion finger nail polish has been working for me... Cheap and easy to apply. I have been using super glue as it absorbs into the thread to lock all the thread and skirt material in place with and then covering/sealing the threads with nail polish. Looks "perdy" too... |
