At the Den today and I was thinking about a fly I wanted to try for the worms. So I got all the materials and started tying as soon as I got home. It never occured to me that all foam might not float. After a half dozen creations it crossed my mind that I should check how they floated, so I filled the dishpan and dropped them in to see if any modifications were needed. They went to the bottom faster than a Clouser! I was under the impression that if it was foam it would float. Just to be sure it wasn`t the hook wieght I tried a strip of plain foam and it too sank. I should have known that if I got enough foam to tie 60 flies for a buck it was too good to be true.

I did the same thing once, cutting corners (and cost) by buying foam from Walmarts craft section. Didn't sink quite like a clouser but absorbed water rather quickly.
Even though the sinking foam didn't suit your needs there could still be some useful applications for it. Sounds like it would make a great crab carapace.
