There are two types of wax for fly tying. The tying wax prevents the thread from slipping and at the same time securely holds the material in place with fewer rotations. Although it is not noticeable, it is an essential item for tying. This is also called white wax and is a standard tying wax. Before tying, pull out the necessary thread from the bobbin, sandwich the thread between the wax surface and your fingers, and quickly pull out the thread to attach it to use.
