This was what I was looking for. It would be cool to see a demonstration of a fly floating after it's applied. Thanks!

Thanks very much. Will be giving this a go in the near future - excellent Christmas present idea for my 3 sons and I ( no daughters 😂).

This is great! My dad used to make his own fly floatant using a very similar recipe, but he's not around to ask anymore, so this was a wonderful find!

Thank you for sharing!
I have been gradually working on getting into fly fishing for a while adter an auto accident and was curious about making floatant at home.
I'll definitely be giving this a whirl!

Good stuff as always, Chris. Thinking of experimenting w/this as a waterproofing for natural feather fletching on arrows. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I have not been able to find dry fly float at my local fly stores for a few months they're all sold out and I knew it had to be a simple product. Thank you thank you thank you

I really liked this video. I tried to make it sufficiently soft for the little squeeze bottle, but my efforts were unsuccessful. It was still cooled down hard. However, rubbing my finger on the top of it gave enough of the product to keep my fly buoyant. Thank you again for posting it!

[alanmccabe]

Very clear and concise demonstration, thanks for sharing.

I just use the same exact stuff that I make for my cutting board oil. Food grade mineral oil and beeswax.
But this is a good video and excellent advice. Thank you

[DamonKirry]

Thank you so much! I always prefer to make this kind of thing for myself. Your walk-through demonstration was very clear and understandable. Well done Sir!👍
