[VFB] Re: FIRST Traditional Winged Wet Fly Swap

[iain short]

Don't get all upset sweetheart,
British customs will Tax Tax Tax if they get the chance. (+ collection fees) 
$10 is too small an amount.
I don't mind paying tax on what I buy (errr, actually I do mind) to keep but 
these flies will be sorted and returned to the swap entrants.
If you want to try explaining "Fly Swap" to British civil servants, be my 
guest
I'm pleased to see Buggs is alive and well.

[VFB] Re: Foam Hoppers- now Zap-a-gap

[Neville Gosling]

Don
Zap-a-Gap is a well known brand and they market several different types of
super glue.  Thin, gels and so on. They even have a Zip Kicker for instant
and I mean instant set up.  A lot of radio control aircraft modellers use it
in different thicknesses.  A model shop is the best place to locate it, not
your hardware store, at least not in Canada. It is a CA (Cyanacrylate) glue
aka "Super Glue."

Nev,


Yes, it is quite different. I find it a bit hard to get an even coating of
CA glue on the foam, without putting too much on.

I think it sucks into the foam and disappears. It may be my foam of type of
glue. Yes it's fun

 


3M company makes several spray adhesives that are really good for foam.  I
used M Super 77 Spray Adhesive.

I don't really know what the minimum time is.  I followed the directions.  I
put the foam in a big cardboard box (to catch the overspray).  If memory
serves me right (happens less frequently these days), I sprayed each piece
separately and let them get tacky (3-5 minutes?).  Then I put them together
carefully.  I layed them on a very flat surface and put a book on them
overnight.  Worked fine.  I even did three layers for the Chernobyl ants.

Also on the 3M website are:
  3M Industrial Spray Adhesive
  3M FoamFast 74 Spray Adhesive
Both of these are also recommended for foam.

I'll try to get that picture that I promised you tonight.

Cheers,
a.

someone might wanna swap for it. Or more importantly, 
"who" might have something i need, that also uses foam Of

Foam hopper tying just suck you into it, doesn't it? Check my foam "hopper

more ideas of what to try. (Jester contributed with his designs too):

In my CP I found that a site that linked to mine had more hoppers (among other

Since the Hopper swap that Peggy organized, I am in a Hopper fly-tying mood. My 
Harrison Steeves mini-hoppers turned out great. I have them finished (for some 
time now) but have not yet mailed. I have just tied my first Charlie Boy Hopper 
and I am really looking forward to giving these a try on the weekend of 12-13 
September.
 
One hopper that I used to tie was called the Baler Hopper and had legs made out 
of red/orange baling twine. Does anyone on the list have the dressing for the 
Baler Hopper. I have googled but not located. Maybe it is under a different 
name.

[VFB] Re: Foam Hoppers

[Anthony Spezio]

If you mean the legs, The thread is pulled through the glue in a long string 
holding it in the blue with a Popsicle stick that has a notch in it. This holds 
the thread down in the glue while pulling the thread through. I used about 3' 
of thread, That is about all I could handle while pulling the thread and 
holding the stick. When coming to the end of the thread, stop while you have 
some that has not gone through the glue yet. Grab that end in one hand, the 
other end is in your other hand to control the thread and hang it from a hook 
to dry.
This gives you about 3' of leg material. Cut off what you need and tie it in.

Yes - but how do you separate your thumb from your 
forefinger after pressing on the foam?

  Nev,


Yes, it is quite different. I find it a bit hard to get an even coating
of CA glue on the foam, without putting too much on.
I think it sucks into the foam and disappears. It may be my foam of type
of glue. Yes it's fun



  3M company makes several spray adhesives that are really good for foam.  I
used M Super 77 Spray Adhesive.


  I don't really know what the minimum time is.  I followed the directions.
I put the foam in a big cardboard box (to catch the overspray).  If memory
serves me right (happens less frequently these days), I sprayed each piece
separately and let them get tacky (3-5 minutes?).  Then I put them together
carefully.  I layed them on a very flat surface and put a book on them
overnight.  Worked fine.  I even did three layers for the Chernobyl ants.


  Also on the 3M website are:
3M Industrial Spray Adhesive
3M FoamFast 74 Spray Adhesive
  Both of these are also recommended for foam.


  I'll try to get that picture that I promised you tonight.


  Cheers,
  a.

Foam hopper tying just suck you into it, doesn't it? Check my foam "hopper
tour" for a few 

more ideas of what to try. (Jester contributed with his designs too):

http://www.swedneckflyfishing.com/hoppers.htm

 

In my CP I found that a site that linked to mine had more hoppers (among
other foam flies):

[VFB] Re: A couple of fishing related questions...

[Jimmy D. Moore]

Tom:

The link that Wes sent does a good job explaining how to do it, etc.,  
but when you get through buying the 12 gauge wire and clamps to hook 
each battery in series, plus 20 amp fuses to go in the positive lines 
off each battery, (to prevent a possible fire), and then hooking it all 
up, you could already have one of the batteries almost charged.  If you 
start a day or two in advance of your boat outing,  you'll have all 
three charged and ready.

[VFB] A couple of fishing related questions...

[Tom Davenport]

I have two son's who have a dream to take a trip to Norway, they are  
interested in both the history and the scenery of the area.  I think  
Niclas is from Sweden, do we have any list members from Norway?
If they go, I might tag along and I would enjoy meeting any list  
members in the area and doing some fishing.

I also have an old friend from Sweden named Per Unkel,  who was an  
exchange student at my high school in the late sixties.  I have  
managed to see him twice since then, and would certainly hook up with  
him in Sweden as well.  He was involved in conservative politics on  
the national level, perhaps Niclas knows of him.



My second question has to do with my boat.  It has three 12 volt  
batteries, and I was wondering if I could charge all three of them at  
once by hooking them in parallel (negative to negative, positive to  
positive).

Thanks,

Tom
