J:Son Wing Material Mayfly Nymph
J:son Wing Material Mayfly Nymph is a thin printed wing film for tying mayfly-nymph imitations. The printed pattern helps reproduce the characteristic wing detail, while the film can be trimmed and heat-shaped into a controlled profile. It is suited to forming wing elements and wing-case details when a clean, repeatable outline is required.
Construction and use
Cut the film to the required wing outline, leaving a small margin for final shaping. For a double wing, a printed layer may be joined to a neutral layer before the edges are trimmed. Place the prepared piece in a matching J:son wing burner and apply gentle heat around the edge to create the final profile. Test the heat and timing on a scrap first, since prolonged heating can distort thin film. Fine details can be added with a waterproof marker before the finished element is tied in.
