G, the hydrostop is liquid. Just plonk your flies in the bottle, leave for a day, pick out with tweezers and leave to dry on paper towel for 24 hours.

P.S. DO NOT put CDC flies in this. Firstly they do not need it, secondly you will negate the whole reason for using CDC in the first place.
2nd P.S. With Klinkies pour some hydrostop into the cap,holding the fly upside down by the body, just dip the "parachute" and hi-vis post into the muti.

I choose the liquid form. Much simpler to use.

You must show me the stuff next time we meet. Anything that works that is not bought in a flyshop has to be a good idea in terms of money spent.

Will do,I'll give u some.

I got the tip on a website somewhere.This guy reckoned it to be superior to any other product.I then tested his theory and I can concur.

U soak and let dry for about 2-3 days.Chuck that thing in water afterwards and U'll see the light.

Ps.I hope PTN is reading this for his hopper dropper

My mate in Elardus Park.I think I paid R30 per litre.

It will last a very long time.It's mos a thick liquid.I must also add that it works a treat on Deer Hair.
