And just WHY, Bob, are you still calling a Tiemco a #32? Just 'cause they say so on the box? Squawk! Squawk!
DonO At the IFTDS in Denver there was an East Indian girl tying Tiemco "#32's". She was just so proud of herself. I hated to burst her bubble (hee hee), but I just HAD to give her a real Mustad #32. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Haering To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] cleaning dried skins Hey what do you think of those seed beads for your tequila sunrise & the insect green horse tail? Tyed a #32 (TMC 518, so DonO doesn't squawk) parachute with came out great. Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy D.

Does any one know how to remove the blood that is on the feathers without have to resort to a complete rehydration & soaking of the pelts? One of them is a real nice dark cree.
