Kapok

[east wind]

I've got a big bag of this stuff in natural tan colour. The idea was to use it as body dubbing for CDC dries and I was going to ink the colour to suit.

Its supposed to have good buoyancy qualities and was going to use it to help the high maintenance problem of CDC wings. Now I am binning CDC as the sole material for wings and posts altogether.

Anyway, I might try the Kapok for other things like spent spinners or floating nymph. I suppose it would be easy to send some off in an envelope spread out inside a sheet of paper so if anyone wants some to tinker with just PM an address.

Oh.... theres a catch, you need to tell me what pattern your trying out  :

Great stuff that, you can also dye it easily.
