Chuck,
No, that's not Furry Foam, though that would work well in this situation.
It's actually foam they ship computer harddrives on. I used to be a
computer geek in a former career and always had a steady supply of it and
I rarely had to cut it down for thickness.

Garry: Is that the "furry foam"??? I saw Lefty Kreh tying a crayfish
similar using the "furry foam" he called it.. and I found a piece of it
today.. I cannot wait to give it a try... I also have a material that I
found today that ppl here might be interested in, and some of you have the
same material I bet... It would be great for any shellback material, from
a crawfish, stonefly, you name it... I have chronic low back pain, and
must use (among other things) these patches called "Lidoderm" which have
lidocaine in them... And the backing that you peel off and throw away is a
clear hard plastic, or Mylar, and had a tiny diamond pattern stamped into
it.. It looks to me that each side of the diamonds would measure about 1.5
mm. And, I colored some of this today with perm markers, and it works
great too..Anyway, I have been throwing these plastic pieces away, but it
dawned on me after using a patch today.. The patches are about 4" X 6" and
would tie 100 crawfish or other shellbacks or more...Or, they would make
good wings on flies.. Specially this foam stonefly that I caught a ton of
bluegills on the last two seasons.. Anybody who wants one to try, let me
know and I'll start sending them out as I use the patches.. No pun
intended, but "my pain is your gain" LOL...If you use these patches..
Check out this the next time you peel one.. Chuck

After sending Allan, a copy of the pictures I took earlier today, he said
they were clear enough for him to get the idea of what I was talking
about. So here are the links:
