[VFB] Re: Foam bodies and cutting them
Ian,
I have not stacked foam so I don't know how well it would work. I have cut foam
sheets from 1/16 to 1/2 and I really have done well with it.
On my Froggies, I slice off a length of 1/8 foam 1/8 wide for the smaller
frogs and 3/16 wide for the larger frogs. I get real clean cuts with a sharp
single edge razor blade.
Do you remember anything about the Frog swap several years ago. Never heard any
more. I forget the persons name now but he was either from England or Ireland.
Never got a thing back
Tony

I have always used plain old Rubber Cement and I have never had a problem with it separating. I take two pieces of foam and liberally coat one side of each with rubber cement. After the cement has become tacky, I carefully place the two pieces together, press them and hold them together for a few minutes. I then set them aside to dry for at least an hour. When they are dry, I trim them to size with a metal straight edge and a single edge razor blade or razor knife. -- Joe Fusco, Sr. Member of The Missouri Trout Fishermen’s Association, The International Brotherhood of the Flymph and The Virtual Fly Box REMEMBER CANCER IS A WORD NOT A SENTENCE Reply to: jfusc...@gmail.com On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 8:58 AM, Ian Mitchell ff_mi...@hotmail.com wrote: Thanks Tony thats what I had been using for my sheets, but on the stacked bodies, I wasnt having much luck with my scissors.
