oatka 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2007 Very nice. Please keep posting these, so I keep getting reminded to try one out. What glue do you use to glue the foam together? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blueman89 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2007 Looks good. I would also try turning the body over for a few( put the top part of the lip under the eye). I think that would make it a good diver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniksoh 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2007 Very nice. Please keep posting these, so I keep getting reminded to try one out. What glue do you use to glue the foam together? well right now i am just cutting out foam circles and then glueing them together with super glue...there is another way that you can use ...get some of that spray adhesive (3M super 77 is one), i just bought a generic brand cause 3m stuff is kinda expensive. thewn you just get foam sheets and spray them and glue tham all together and than punch out the cylindars with sharpened metal tubing or you can buy a set of gasket punches for the cutting. but it requires a drill press...i am expirimenting with just the tubing and a hammer (i read this in a fly tying article). heres a link that blueman89 gave me that should help every one: "dremel bugs" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
