Question Brown Booby Eyes?

Anybody know if you can obtain brown booby cord or brown ethafoam blocks in the UK? If so where?

Thanks

Was in at GAC yesterday for the very same thing, none!
I decided to use white, and colour it with a permanent marker.
Might try the same pen on some yellow foam that I have and see what transpires.

Thought of that too... but my little mind was working on overdrive with strong smells from the eyes putting off the fish

Already tried it Arden and it doesn't work. But I have to say that the grasshoppers suggestion from a few weeks back does

Dont worry mate, I lifted 36 on the real snails from Lene on saturday. Ive super glued them onto size 16 hooks at the bend and added a bit of cdc at the head. So ready for action ... again.
