The "Copydex" method I mentioned is also simple. The Copydex, which is a
liquid rubber type carpet adhesive, but other adhesives like "Evostick" and
some other so called "Contact adhesives" will also work, are spread thinly
on a sheet of glass. When dry, this is cut to a tapered shape using a razor
blade or scalpel, and then rolled into tapered bodies. One may incorporate
tails etc when rolling, colour the latex with pantone or similar pens, etc
etc. One may "dub" the bodies as well, using adhesive, and rolling them in
the appropriate dubbing.


I'll second all that. Brilliant bodies which are good colour and float
well and can be any length you want.
