And while Hedron’s Flashabou is a great substitute if you’re looking to add flash, it lacks the width that Saltwater Flashabou offers. Another Hedron material that’s somewhat similar is their Holographic Magnum Flashabou. This is a large flash material that’s 16” long, but it’s only 1/32” wide, and it also has 3D holographic properties. Although many flash options exist, whenever you’re looking for a wide type of flash, Saltwater Flashabou is the perfect choice.
