I?ve been interested in the comment about suitable materials.  Lately I?ve been gibberlating most of mine and I find it helps considerably.
What you do is to mix dihydrogen oxide with caolila, about 30/70 does, but it?s not critical.  After a few applications you will find that almost any material can be used to tie almost any fly.
The only side effect is deviagravation and your cocky style flies might be a bit on the small side.  As long as you don?t have a cockyphile narking you to improve them there should be no problem.

Live long and prosper.

I Find the dehydrated method applied in constant small quantities provides a good finish. If one applies it repeatedly and often it gives a good shine. However a note of caution beware of the unstable and highly volatile nature of some applications. It looks like your Branch of chemistry is very similar to mine P.A. LOL!!!

Piscatus, how long did Stanley Unwin (or indeed Unley Stanwin) and you drink together for?

I thought rod resonant frequency was complicated, but at least it's easy to pronounce  :D
