Default Cab-0-Sil Advice ??

Inspired by the several posts on the merits of Cabot's Cab-0-Sil
TS720, I ordered a quart.

Now my question is, what the hell do I do with it? I've never used
Frog's Fanny.

I got the impression it's "painted" on the fly with a brush. Correct?
Does some of it actually stick to the fly, even being cast a number of
times?


The treatment will actually push the water out of the fly and then keep in
dry for an extended amount of time. Eventually, you will need to re-treat,
either after a fish or two, or many casts.


Is it possible to buy a pocket-size bottle with built-in brush, for
carrying in the vest?


I use an old Frog's Fanny bottle, but I like the question cause my brush is
getting worn out. nyone have a source for the bottle w/brush?



Is it used the same way on nymphs?

Never used it on a nymphs, but again, like that question. Is there a
practical use on nymphs?

Thanks. vince
