Okay all you junior chemists here is the pertinent question. How many
of you are actually using Albolene straight out of the jar instead of
plunking down your $3.50 at the counter of the local fly shop/
discount store when your little plastic bottle goes dry?

I've been using Albolene for three years, and Cab-O-Sil for one, and have been
happy with both.
The Albolene is a little thicker, when cold, than Gink or Aquel, and I used to
thin it with mineral oil, but I find it works just as well straight from the
jar. A bit of a PIA to refill the bottles, but winter is long up here, so I
have plenty of time.
There is some question as to whether Cab-O-Sil is identical to Frog's Fanny. It
may or may not be, but it works well enough for me.
