DHise 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 Awesome. What is the body? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwiltshire 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 I guess an underbody of lead? A nice pattern that would fish well as a Czech nymph. Nice work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fly tryer 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 Hey Guys There is an underbody of sticky lead tape which is then covered with unwaxed dental floss which helps to get the shape. The body itself is Acetate floss (Danvilles) which is then immersed in Acetone for a couple of seconds, when it dries it leaves a great finish. A word of caution though. ACETONE IS A POISON. please handle with care. Steve B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
