Always impressive TD! When I tie a lot with bunny fur, or marabou for that matter, I always have a wet sponge (in a cheep bowl, empty cool whip contaner, etc.) by my work area. I use it to keep my fingers damp, especially after cutting a strip of fur. The damp, no soaking wet, fur will not fly around nearly as bad making for faster cleanup and happier wives or roomies.
As far as marabou is concerned. I use dry hands to get the stuff on the hook. Once on the hook I get my fingers wet and stroke the marabou back. It makes it 10x easier to tie other materials on the hook. Also, it works a tad better than licking ones fingers or spitting on your lures/flies.
Happy tying to all!
