look at the size of the commercially packed stuff and you'll see that is one

won't last me more than a couple long days, usually.


I used four containers of FF last year. You can not beat it when it
comes to CDC flies, and it works better than any other powdered stuff,
including the bulk containers of the powder. I think, but am not
sure, that FF is not only a desicant, but it also has a floatant added
to it, because I have tried other commercial desicants and they do not
work nearly as well, especially on CDC.

Floatant? Gink is the best.
