Mark:   I did find something by 3M called Clear Mounting Squares, that if it were available in sheet form instead of half inch squares would make a decent sub.  I enjoy playing with it, just have to move away from the pattern trend set by Harry's partner.  The Gummy Minnow really isn't a bait fish imitation, but soft plastic imitation and all the patterns I've seen have the extended body which I don't like.  I do more warm water fishing than cold water, so I'm always working to come up with more realistic bait fish. There was an article in one of the fly tying magazines a month or two ago where Harry Steeves tied up a real nice looking Stonefly nymph using the stuff that I plan on adding to my box.     In a message dated 2/18/2005 18:31:20 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Actually, the biggest playeers in silicone based technologies are Dow Corning and General Electric. 3M has a few products but not near as many as Dow Corning and GE.  The stuff feals like a very lightly crosslinked silicone, but I've not played with it,only received afew flies.  Still not sure if it's something I want to fool with.
