Troubleshooting

Foam cylinder is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp, new razor blade or scalpel for precise cuts. Consider a miter box for consistent angles.

Foam cylinder is not staying in place on the hook shank.

Ensure you are using sufficient thread wraps and applying adequate pressure while tying. Apply a small amount of head cement to the thread wraps for added security.
