Amen to that Silver. Enough Said

Ok, so after talking to a few who mix up their own head cement here are a some home made recipes for anyone who is interested. Head Cement: 1. Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails mixed 50/50 with Acetone or other thinner 2. Regular Lacquer thinned Flexament: Mix goop with toulene or MEK depending on what the ingredient is in the rubber adhesive. Give you the ability ability to control the viscosity. I wanted to research homemade options because I teach some new tyers and they are going through the cement and I like buying/tying in bulk. Give me a shout if you have a homemade recipe that works for you. thanks,

Any good head cement or flexible cement recipes out there? Head Cement: I am looking for something that penetrates fast to secure the hand whip finish. Flexement: I have heard that you can thin ShooGoo with toulol/toluene and get a version of the commercially available flexible cements, but yet to try this method. Or should I just get off the wallet and stick with the commercial goods? cheers,
