Gels and Liquids: Best for pre-treating standard hackled dry flies and foam patterns before they touch the water; avoid on delicate Cul de Canard (CDC) feathers. For best result, apply treatment the night before and let the fly dry overnight. Keep pre-treated flies in separate puck or container of your choosing.
Powders: Best for absorbing water from a soaked, sunken fly specifically Cul de Canard (CDC) feathers and restoring buoyancy instantly.
Pastes: Thicker formulas used for heavy hair bugs, large foam patterns, or greasing leaders and tippets
