Troubleshooting

Foam dissolving too quickly

Ensure the bag is sealed properly and stored in a cool, dry place. For a slower dissolve, apply by licking and wrapping around the hook shank instead of just nicking the hook point.

Difficulty in nicking hook into foam

Use slightly larger foam pieces, or if the foam is very dry, a tiny amount of moisture can help it adhere better.

Foam not visible enough

While fluoro colours offer good visibility, consider using a slightly larger piece or a brighter fluoro shade if available and appropriate for the conditions.
