I apologize if this was already answered, as I haven't been good about keeping up with the vfb mails (personal health issues, trying to finish my thesis, and just time in general), but here's a few related questions for the group: What do you suggest for gluing together sheets of the 2mm thick foam (similar to the stuff you can get at "Wal-Far...err... Mart")? Nail polish soaks in but doesn't bond, while CA (super-glue- like, just not name brand) glue warps the foam. If you have seen them, you know what I mean... How does one make the "cylinder cut diagonally" spider bodies that are sold pre-formed as a teardrop shape with a rounded top and flat bottom? I'm thinking of dremmel-ing a cylinder of layered foam and somehow slicing it diagonally, but could use any help you can offer... I only got B's in the three organic chemistries, so my spacial geometry skills aren't so hot... Everyone I know who glues sheets together either uses the spray adhesive or the rubber cement. I still like working with the white cylinders or preformed bodies. For the tear drop bodies, like Alan I buy mine. I imagined they're punched out by some automated process. I saw an interesting pattern at a local sportsman show over the winter using the tear drop bodies. The guy was kind enough to show me how to tie it. This is what my version looks like. It uses the large bodies. http://www.flytyingforum.com/uploads/gallery4612fe7aadc99.jpg Jerry C "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
