I use the 2 mm foam sheets and mark them with Permapen to my liking, usually with spots. I am going to experiment with the sheets you use for the backs of the nymphs and also with the slick Baxter IV bag material. This will take place after the Christmas fly boxes are finished..only 5 dozen more flies to go. I will let you know how the IV bag ones work after I've tried it. The material of the bags is very similar to Thin Skin.
