A buddy of mine is a salesman for a local packing materials company and he gave me a couple of foam samples he was done with. I have some black, some white and a little chartreuse.

The black and white ones are 1/16th thick, and are labled "Toilon Crosslinked PE Foam, Density: TI-40".

The Chartreuse is 1/8 inch thick and labled "Microcellular Closed Cell Foam, Polymer: PE/EVA, Density 5.3-6.5 PCF, Hardness 35-45 Shore C".

I have no idea what any of that means but if you would like some, email me @ blender135@hotmail.com. JayMorr and fanatic get first dibs ;)


In loving memory of flyfshr8 who sent me a patch of moose two years ago.

Does anyone know how to get some different colors than what they sell in the fly shops. The yellow foam colors they sell are just too bright, a more pale color or quasi tan would be better for hoppers. Anyone know?

I have tried bleaching it out, and that stuff is untouched by sun and clorox!

Try craft stores or "All a Dollar" type stores.

I just picked up three sheets of cicada orange for a buck. Kinda nice. That was at Macs craft store. Also they have a variety of colors. If you go to Macs make sure to go to a location other then the one up by Whitmore library on 7200 south. The craft colors are limited to Orange and Green right now. I know the one in Bountiful has every color including foam with peel off sticky backing.

Also Walmart carries square foam sheets in different colors.
