So you go though a lot of Cab-o-Sil, Larry?


I got a bag of Cab-O-sil ($15 for enough for several lifetimes) and it is
great for drying out flies, but you must be diligent in removing all of it
from the flies you want to float as it is hydrophyllic.
It is not a substitute for Frogs Fanny which is hydrophobic. I contacted
several suppliers of Cab-O-sil in an effort to find a source of the treated
Cab-O-sil (hydrophobic), but could find none that would talk to me unless I
was wanting industrial level quantities.
I understand that the material sold in archery shops to treat arrow
fletching is the same as Frog's Fanny, but I have yet to check it out.
