Default A new use for theraband off cuts!

heres a crane fly pattern i tied today using scrap theraband gold for the body,I use theraband gold in my business making catapults and i have quite a bit of the offcuts left,its similar to latex but has UV inhibitors built into it so it takes longer to be degraded by UV light ,i recon it would be great for shrimp backs and all manner of flies.what do you think?

primarily theraband is used in resistance therapy,it comes in differing strengths,gold being the strongest,i use it in my business for catapult elastic,this stuff makes the humble catty 1/3 more powerfull than an airgun.
