At .004 inch thick, it remains stretchable and transparent, with a matte finish on one side and a shiny finish on the other. A paper backing makes cutting into strips of any size quick and precise. Once the backing is removed, the clear sheet ties cleanly to the fly, integrating smoothly with thread and wire wraps for a natural look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe printed patterns offer depth and realism, from subtle shading to bold contrast. As you wrap, Thin Skin stretches and compresses, letting you craft shellbacks on flies like scuds or sowbugs, and wing cases on a wide range of nymph patterns. In bass and saltwater tying, its versatility shines for creating segmented crayfish and shrimp patterns that catch the eye without adding bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAwesome for wing cases and shellbacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy to use and super durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in 4 patterns and 30 colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Helps Your Fly Ties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThin Skin is designed to be responsive to your tying motions.
