Do you use the netting on the flies just for more durability?

From your discussions of foam, I've been experimenting with more
buoyant foams. I agree with you that the craft foams most used don't
float well. However, it's hard to find lighter foams and even harder to
find them in colors. The only source I've found is in packing material
that I get when things I buy online are shipped to me. Here's a photo of
the best I've found, however, I've only found it in clear and bright
pink and I'm unable to color it with permanent markers.

Do you have suggestions?
