Default Frog's Fanny Subsitute.

Read the threads a few weeks back about several options for buying "generic"
Frog's Fanny from several sources. Has anyone actually tried one of the
sources and is it a good alternative. The first thing that came to mind was
that the texture. Is it the same? I would think it would need to be or it
could create problems?

I have a gallon of Cab-o-Sil and it appears to be identical in every way to
F.F. If it ever stops snowing up here, I'll field test it.

Can you explain, in teeny weeny words, what "fumed" means, in this
context?

Thanks. vince

Man, I bet that stuff is harder to get into the bottle than it is to get
those little foam packaging peanuts back into the box. Any suggestions
before I buy a lifetime supply, or is it pretty much a non-issue?
