1/16 inch scud back

Thanks Normand, I may have to try that little jewel soon.

I had an assortment of scud back (Hareline?) years ago. I believe it came in two widths: 1/8" & 1/4". I wasn't impressed how the scud back (certain colors, anyhow) aged and degraded over time.

I don't know if it would give the desired effect (don't know what you're imitating), but it sounds as though narrow mylar tinsel (spooled) or flashabou or a similar synthetic would work.

another idea would be to us a couple of strands of flexifloss or spanflex on each side
