That's great stuff, I read it here from someone who suggested it.
I applied Gink to just the body of the fly and very little of it too,
even put some on the tippet.

wanted to thank whoever suggested it.

I started using gink before I knew George Gherke, as it was the best of
all the floatants I tried, I continued to use it after Gherke moved to
my town, and I got to know him and his boys (met his wife a few times,
but never socialized), I still continued to use it even after I started
to get free samples of all the latest and greatest floatants in the
mail.

I still don't know if I buy the Abolene Hand Cream business, as I was in
a department store once, and the version on the counter didn't look
quite like Gink, didn't smell like it (it had a fragrance, Gink does
not), and didn't feel like it, but YMMV.

I still use it today, but I haven't had to buy a bottle in over 10
years, and probably won't have to for some time.

And say what you will about George, one thing he was, was entertaining.

And honestly, what he was like in ROFF, was not one bit different from
himself in person.

Gink, Muslin, silicone this and that all waste of money I generally
use a small bottle of camp fuel (aka naptha) and parafin wax. The wax
dissolves in the fuel and when applied to a fly, the fuel evaporates
leaving the wax thinly deposited on the fly. You can also use a few drops
to help start a fire course I don't smoke either LOL. One dip will keep
your fly floating all day, at least until a salmon rises and pulls it
under. But then I don't mind having to dry it off after the fight is over
