Foam
 

I am looking to buy foam - not the typical flat pieces, but the round
type 1/8 inch. Cannot seem to find any at local fly shops. Any web
distributors available?

Thanks,

Dick Williams

Try using brass tubing you get from a hobby shop & fitting in a dowel rod
epoxy it in. Then use it in your drill to cut your own round shapes. This
works real well I have 6 different sizes myself.

I have a complete set of the trout cutters (see website below) and I am very
happy with them. Be sure to use some soapy water when drilling sandal
foam...Also he has sandal foam as well...many colors...
