If it still sinks I'll re- alcohol dip it & use some brand of desiccant & then fish it. I've collected those little dessicant packages you get with some purchased items & pulverized the beads, put them in a vial & when I want to dry a fly I put it in the vial & shake it up. As for the alboline I dont thin it. I keep it in a small squeeze bottle & when I want to use it I just squeeze some out on my fingers & rub it into the fly.. I forgot to mention that that $11.00 bottle of Alboline will last you & your friends a few seasons...
