Byron a good rule of thumb is 1/4 inch on 14's and 3/16's on 16-18's....YMMV. I use a paper cutter to cut my foam since I tie so many, this makes for nice strips of foam that I can get a 1/2 dozen beetles or more out of.

Doug,
I keep messing around. I have a zelon dubbing selection. One of the colors is "Tiger Beetle Black". Thought it would be suitable for a beetle?
