Silicone Hopper
Silicone hopper 2" long. Experiment from a piece of silicone from the wife's Orthotist. He had a small piece and gave it to me to try and this is what I came up with. It doesn't take paint or glue. I colored it with permanent magic marker and that's not working very well.

I think I'm a long way from the pro ranks but I think I might be closing in on the intermediate ranks. All I know is it's all fun.

Woahhhh..Dick, it's reaching a level of "UH OH..Dick got all the fishes". If that hopper can stand up to the tortures of the toothy creatures below, that hopper will annihilate the fish population. I can truly say you've reach pro-tying level.

Silicone adhesive sounds promising, as does Goo.

No I haven't David something to think about. Bod said to try silicone caulk or shoe goo. So hopefully out of them 3 things I can find something that will work. Thanks guys for the input.

Dick did you try a drop of glue on the foam to hold them wings down ?

No Carl I have some issues I have to get solved with it first. Thanks for the complement Carl.

For all the fly tiers I posted this a day or two ago and wondered if there was a way to lower the wing it's sticking up in the air to far although when it's wet it may lay down.
