Mike is this stuff approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, FDA and Agencey for Disease Control. When we have a bad day on the water my customers have been known to try to take a bite out of the grip so they will have an excuse to Pop A Cap!


Their teeth, being dentures, will not penetrate the Flock Adhesive!

Do you get funny looks when you show up at the checkout line with armloads of hobby foam too, or am I just imagining things?


Heck...I am on the mailing list of my local sewing center because I buy so much thread......The ladies all know me by name......

Between the foam, thread and buttons (buttons make great butt caps and inlays on butt caps) YES!!!!!!
I'm on the "preferred customer" list at Michael's and JoAnn's

Mike - why are you cutting out rings? Just cut a square out, it's MUCH easier and gives you more of a margin for error when glueing up.

Mike - do you have this is various thicknessess? 4 & 6 mm specifically? I cannot find the thicker stuff locally, so I'm going to have to order it and pay more for shipping than for the entire order, lol. If you have a spot to get thicker foam, or are interested in placing an order for it, let me know.
