Waterproofing furled leaders.

Any recommendations as to what to use ?
I can think of the usual products for clothes etc..
I've tried a bunch of different things, some ate the line
(silicone-based sprays), others helped it float, but had to be reapplied
(gink-type floatants) often during the day. None worked well. Due to
this, the extra spray from the water coming out of the leader spooking
fish, how quickly they freeze solid in cold temps (i.e. frozen nylon
spears hitting the water) and the virtual impossibility of getting wind
knots out of the buggers (I've read about this problem, 'cause I never
get wind knots), I gave up on them.
