Mikey Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Just a thought...at Lowe's the other day and the gift card tins they sell for a couple of bucks look about right for fly boxes. well, for nymph boxes anyway. mikey Each time I buy a new fly............ My wife gives me the same look........ I give her when she buys another purse... ..............................
MrDucky Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 For things to decorate the outside with...you can use pictures, stickers, paint, more magnets, etc. You can use spray shellac to protect it. I made some just for fun out of old Sonic toys. They were little boxes with clips to put on kids backpacks. My son put a sticker on his, I put a picture from a catalog on mine, and John's had some other picture I cut out of something. I did not shellac them, as they weren't well done, but it was fun! I was advised that you need to be careful with the 2mm foam, that it can trap the moisture and let the hooks rust. Any problems with that? Yikes!!! I Hate that warning horn

jjtroutbum Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Mr. Ducky asked = "was advised that you need to be careful with the 2mm foam, that it can trap the moisture and let the hooks rust. Any problems with that?" I'm useing a open cell foam that will not trap moisture like a closed cell will however, If I dunk a box I will pull out everything a dry it out that night or at least after that trip. I have found that the silla packs that I get in shoe boxes etc. do a nice job after such things happen. Kickinbass, I've just received twenty from Shawncat but those will be in production very quickly. So yes ill always have a use for more.
