Posts: 3	Ever get tired of purchasing wing material? If you are like me, do you find that the package always seems to contain a limited amount of material and the color as well as structure is often not exactly what you want? But what if you could make wing material at a fraction of the cost, in the color and structure you want, that floats and is as tough as nails. Making this kind of wing material is a fairly simple process. To start you need the following items: 1. A pressing table 2. Iron (Hobby or regular pressing iron) 3. Scissors 4. Heat-n-Bond (which in a polypropylene or polyethylene product) 5. Netting or Polypropylene (PP) Hair 6. Polyethylene foam sheeting 7. Alcohol ink for additional coloring 8. Teflon Pressing Pad To see samples and step by step procedures follow this link https://unsinkableflies.blogspot.com/2012/02/making-fly-wing-material-fly-tying.html
