Question: from some posts that we have had recently my mind went to a problem that I have with craft foam. It absorbs water and then sinks. Is it just me? If not, what should I do to make it water resistant and still float. Is there a better alternative? (I hope I can do something to treat it because I have half of the free worlds supply of it.)
Mike,
There are two general types of foam - open cell foam and closed cell foam. The former absorbs water. The latter doesn't.
I don't see why you couldn't put a thin coat of epoxy on the foam in your finished flies to seal it, leaving you with "closed" foam. Of course, this could also be done before adding fur and feathers to the hook.
