    Two side fins made from leftover fluke material and fabric. I will be putting a clear silicone coating over top of the fabric
    How it will be going together once the fins are finished and glued into position. Then the whole tail will be painted and embellished with natural ocean goodies

    Ooo! Did you draw that? Looks gorgeous, both tail and drawing!

    Btw, what is the name of the glue that you have smooshed all inside the fluke?

    No I didn't draw this, it was a picture I saw on FB and the glue I used is called 'Tarzan Grip'

    Well I discovered that the Tarzan grip glue is only good for gluing the neoprene not the monofin. Oh well I will have to stick to using silicone
