Gurgler swap

Superglue didn't work, epoxy cracked, white glue gets wet, don't have
the patience for hotmelt glue. What do you all use?
When I want the foam to be a little stiffer I simply use the green bottle of
Zap-A-Gap. Other that then, I use that plain o'le rubber cement. I use the
Zap-A-Gap mst often as I can glue the foam while the fly is in the vise and the
Zap-A-Gap lives at my tying station. I most often tie a simple gurgler type fly
and glue another layer of some bright colored foam on top so that it is easier
to see in the water. As in a black beatle with a bright yellow layer on top.
Let your mind wander and be creative. Have fun with this ****. I sent Bobby
Knight a dozen black ones with red on the top since I are a Red Raider.
