Guest Jeremie Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Where should i be looking for these? The few fly shops up here dont have any, but i know they are used for electronics. Anyone know of any place? Quote
cheeler Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Memory Express or any other store that assembles computers on site will probably have some to give away. Quote
Guest tallieho Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 best buy geek squad ...there are various thicknesses of this material,try to get the thinnist as possible...then blk.wire or redwire again the the smallist diameter as possible tight lines Quote

murray Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Jeremie, how many do you want and how can I get them to you? Murray Quote
Tungsten Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I'm also in the market for some of the thin stuff.How do you tell if its thin enough?The stuff i have was pretty clear but after tying with it its too thick the colors don't come through. Quote
Guest Jeremie Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 i got loads from memory express today. Thanks for the offers guys! Jeremie Quote
dryfly Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Anti-static bags. Neat concept. Most bags I know give me all sorts of static. Quote
DonAndersen Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Anti-static bags. Neat concept. Most bags I know give me all sorts of static. Anti-static bags are for those that are wired. You, like me, aren't ever plugged in let alone wired. Don Quote
soggysocks63 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 What?? You going to show us what your tying with static bags? I'm rather intrigued now... Now that i think of it would make a good skin for some times Quote
AdamJ Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 What?? You going to show us what your tying with static bags? I'm rather intrigued now... Now that i think of it would make a good skin for some times My guess would be something like this: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/radbard88/esbuzzer/ Jeremie, Wine rib, gun metal bead, sz12 and 14, deadly at the lake in June!! I mean, deadly! Quote
Kristi Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Jeremie, You mentioned anti Static bags and the success of getting them at Memory express. Did they charge anything for them? ~Kristi Quote
Guest JBear Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Nope, they have extras on hand from the electronics they have shipped to them. Didnt get charged anything and basically have 5 years worth of static bags for chronies. Quote
Kristi Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Great thanks Jeremie, I'll try my hand here in Edmonton at several sources that I have.. Tight lines ~Kristi Quote
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 i like to use the foam computer bags for hopper and drake wings. But i never thought to use the plastic bags. Quote
ironfly Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 As others have mentioned, getting it thin enough can be challenging, and tying with the thick stuff even more so. Phil Rowley and Brian Chan have gone to the trouble of selecting the perfect grade of this material, and it is now available under the Stillwater Solutions brand, labeled as "Midge Body Material".

Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 thats wicked, industry from second hand stuff! 3R's at work. Quote
Kristi Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I like Juniors aproach to this. But when I have several bags that i did not realise i had from building my last computer I may give it a shot! ~Kristi P.S Junior will I see you at the meeting tonight? Quote
