Scott, where can I find some of the foam? That pattern is great!
Thanks Allen. I think some stereo equipment we bought was wrapped in it. I’m wondering if places like UPS, packaging stores or office supply stores would have it.

Scott
Allen if you have trouble finding any send me a PM with your address and I’ll put some in an envelope for you.
I have enough in a few diff. sizes, from tiny flies to larger trout flies.
I used to keep LOTS of it but tossed most out after a long time saving it. Ain’t that the way it goes…!! I have enough left though.
Jeremy.
Jeremy, thanks for the offer. Scott is sending me some.
