Chocklett's Foam Skin is a "gummy tape" with a thin foam backing, that come in two , 2 X 6" strips. This is basically Sili Skin with a razor foam backing. It can be used pretty much anywhere that Sili Skin is but will add a bit more bulk and a bit of buoyancy.
Sili Skin was made popular many years ago by Blane Chocklett with his introduction of the famous Gummy Minnow. This is the foundation of those flies but many, many other uses have surfaced over the years and it's now seeing a huge resurgence with the publishing of Blane's new book, Game Changer.
The foam side of the tape is covered with a peel-off backing and the other side has a "sili skin" foil finish. It comes in 7 colors. It is very sticky but not nearly as stretchy as standard Sili Skin. It tends to work best as a topper or where you can fold it over onto itself.
It can be combined with Live Gummy Skin to make amazingly realistic Gummy Minnows but really the uses are limitless. Some highlights of the new book are using it to make "floating" Gummy Minnows, wrap around Body Tubing to form entire bodies on flies or just finish off a head on a fly such as on a T-Bone. Use your imagination and let us know what you come up with!
Chocklett's Foam Skin comes two, 2 X 6" strips per package. 7 colors.
