Sorry about that, but some of these explanations tend to get complex.Originally Posted by Steven
The main points are that if you want to refloat slimed flies you have to remove the slime, because the slime will otherwise sink the fly. It also sticks feathers together because it is a mucous. Amadou will remove the slime.
Once you have removed the slime, you need to dry the fly again. The dessicant should do that.
Then you need to waterproof the fly again. The permaflote does that.
The flies pre-treated with watershed will float long and well, even if pulled under occasionally, as long as they are not slimed by fish.
Of course with badly slimed waterlogged flies, all you can really do is change the fly!
