Struggling majorly with dubbing.

When getting started in tying, usually the first hump you'll have to get over is using too much dubbing. It's a "feel" thing that will smooth out with time and practice.
Here's a picture of a few Hare's Ear's that I tied recently... the bodies are tightly dubbed with a good dose of wax, but the thorax's are sparsely dubbed in a loop - ala Leisenring style - to give them a spiky look. Very durable.
As far as dubbing wax goes, I prefer real tacky stuff, and you can get it for a buck or two at Home Depot... it's a toilet wax ring! One ring will last a lifetime. [
