Very cool new idea for fly bodies

[James Smith]

I came across this youtube video from another site so I thought I'd share it with the folks hear on FAOL. This guy has come up with a great idea that I think will open up a lot of creativity opportunity for some of the folks here.

Jim,

Thanks for sharing - I will definitely be buying some quick setting Gorilla glue and trying out the technique. I'm already thinking about how to improve on the process and automate some of the body making process...you got the creative juices flowing!

I will definetly be trying this one as soon as I can get my hands on some gorilla glue. Thanks for the heads up, and the link to the video as well.

Interesting....Thanks for the link

I wonder if you can add color to the glue....though it certainly seems to take a marker well.

Buddy, I'm wondering if it would work as an inner body on the parachute cord flies you showed us???...to give a little form and smoothness...what say you?????

I'm thinking of a mouse fly with maybe some furry foam attached...might use too much of it...maybe it comes in larger amounts...

Shouldn't have to whip finish in situations where the thread goes through the uncured glue...

I'm also thinking this would be good for making eyes.

I hope as folks come up with ideas they will share.

Now that is one of the most inventive and experimentive materials I have seen in a long time. It seems with imagintation and a little work beetle, lady bugs, ants can be created pretty easy. I also see that inch worms could be created as well and feel I could really duplicate a true woolly worm catapillar found in the fall. I am glad that some one took the time to create this video and also like to thank the person who posted it. What a really cool idea.

P.S. I feel there are a lot of new things that are just gimmicks. I truly feel that this is NOT one of them.

Always enjoy seeing a creative person at work. Surely he pulled the trigger on the imaginations of a bunch of folks here. Will be interesting to see what comes of it.
