When I tie on dumbbell eyes I build at dam of thread in front and back of where
I want the eyes to set.
I have some material that is thick and works to do this. I then tie on the
dumbbell eyes with figure 8 thread wraps and use superglue to hold them on.

Hi VFB,
What are your favorite techniques for tying lead dumbbell eyes to the hook?
Ease of execution and durability are plusses.

I've heard of tyers using dental floss. What's the product and technique?
Should I brush afterwards?
