    I want to use 1 bunny strip pattern as the top of a fly & a different bunny strip pattern as the bottom. Thought i might glue the skins together. The glue would have to be flexible & water proof. What glue should i use? Thanks in advance for any help!    Chuck

    you can use a contact cement and apply it with a toothpick sparingly so you don't get it on the hair.

    try this website and search for bunny strip flies  It has a decent looking streamer pattern recipe and step by step instructions

    http://www.flyanglersonline.com/

    I have tied it in place with thread and used super glue to hold in place before also but only on  top not both sides. I think I'll try the streamer myself

    good luck


    tight lines!

     I use a clear drying latex cement called VAL A Tearmender for gluing rabbit hides together for my Double Bunny pike fly. you can also  use it to glue down wing cases.
