Can I use it for saltwater flies?

How do I prevent the chenille from fraying?
Handle the chenille with care, avoid over-pulling while winding, and use a good quality thread for securing the ends.
What thread colors work best?
Match the thread color to the chenille or use a contrasting color for added effect.
How do I store the chenille?
Store the chenille in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
What are the best knot techniques?

Can I use glue to secure the chenille?
A small amount of fly-tying glue can be used to prevent unraveling but use it sparingly.
