Piker20 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2012 Latest prawn pattern. Very good. Do you make your backs with a very thin plastic first then coat with resin? Just wondering how you get that defined edge to the back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Pamenter 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2012 Latest prawn pattern. Very good. Do you make your backs with a very thin plastic first then coat with resin? Just wondering how you get that defined edge to the back? I use a plastic table cloth that my wife gets for me at a shop called Spotlight. I cut with the shrimp cutters and shape the head so it sits between the eyes. I coat with UV knot sense, set with the light then cover with sally hansons because I don't have a turny turny thingie to rotate the fly if I use liquid fusion etc. I can send you some samples of the carapace I use in a couple of sizes if you want, just PM me the postal details.
