Does anyone know how to make a homemade floatant?I was just wondering because I don't know anywhere that sells regular floatant.

Buy a jar of albolene at your local drug store (in the make-up section). Will give you a life-time supply for the cost of a single little squeeze bottle of the regular stuff. You can use it as-is.

Make sure to tell the check out girl it's for your wife.

There are several sponors that you can get it from through the mail. Just check out the ones that sell fly fishing gear.

Actually, I use deer talo mixed with ivory soap!

You could try to convince her it's for your flies then.

Ya,i'd have better luck with that. It's kinda funny with any of my hobbies Ill have to explain to the cashier what I'm doing.Like buying epoxy (which i did not know I needed an ID to buy,cause stupid kids like to sniff it) for gluing eyehole pins on wooden homade lures. I can't stand it when I get that "what are you going to use that for"look.
Obviously they are just being carfull,and I'm sure they have heard their share of excuses.Stupid kids ruin it for the rest of us.


It's not realy that bad though.But it's fun to see their faces when I tell them. How many kids come into the store looking for spar urathane.
