I used to collect all of those packets from various things that I had
bought. If they were the beebee-shaped kind, I would crush them into a
powder and put them in an empty film cannister. It was basically a poor
man's "dry shake" and worked very well.

Uhhhhhh, no. I used to take the ones out of beef jerky packs and any
electronic products that I purchased. I don't recall ever buying potato
chips that had desiccant in them. Am I just too young or what? bseg

I use the little bags that come with camera and electronic stuff as well as the
little cylinder-shaped ones that come in some Rx bottles to keep the internals
of my hearing aids dry when I'm out roadin' for trout and camping and generally
living like a pig. Got a little plastic jar I put the aids in on top of the
dessicant and seal it shut overnight wjhile I sleep. Works great..

In fact, it works better than that Gawdamn Frog Fanny works on flies...

I agree! Frog's Fanny is neat but it wears off too damn quickly and
isn't much of a real floatant. It wears off pretty damn quick on
nymphs too and is basically something that I keep around for specific
usages. A good dry shake, a good paste floatant (I still use Gink
because I don't see a need to use second best;-) and the Frog's Ass
waiting in the wing covers all of the situations that I have
experienced.

It's not a floatant. But, IMO, it is the best dessicant out there and it
can restore a badly matted and slimed fly to "new" condition. When you
get done applying it, there should be VERY little if any left. If there
is still some left, the fly isn't completely dry and you need to use
some more.
