To use your metal flake foam, suggest you look at Crease Flies. They're

Google 'Sleazy Steve'. Its something like Soggy Bottom Fly Shop. They

Strangest Thing. Found a salt deposit in my mailbox today.
Busy prepping for a show I'm tying at this weekend (Texas Council IFFF),
will check them out closer Monday. If you're in the area of San
Antonio, New Braunfels, come check us out Friday and Saturday.
