only for show

then you wouldnt need to spray anything on the wings

Would starch be a good choice to keep the wings in shape?

only in the vise

i think artists fixative will eventually wash out as well

there is no amount of fixative that's going to save those perfectly tied wings from the teeth of a trout or your handling trying to remove the fly from the fishes jaw
