Can I use PTFE tippet for dry flies? Or is it exclusively for nymphing

Fluorocarbon doesn't float, that's a feature not a bug.

I don't use it for dry flies but I don't want my entire tippet
to float high and dry. Ideally your tippet right next to the
eye of a small dry fly should be just under the surface film.

this is why some folks use about 6 inches of FC at the end of the tippet
with dries - it's sure to sink and leave no snake opf a leader in miniscus
right by the fly.
