I just realized I have synthrapol also. That isn't a wetting agent though, is it?? That would be closer to the dish soap wouldn't it. It's used to clean feathers before dying them. When I shake it, it makes bubbles like dish soap. But then so does the photo flo as someone pointed out (I haven't used that). Jet dry doesn't do the same thing. It does coat your fingers though so I bet it would work with the silicone. Deb

The Photo-Flo deal was Popovich's buddy, Ed Jaworowski , probably grabbed it out of his darkroom and the legend progressed from there. I use synthoprol in water, Dawn Dishwashing liquid also to Deb's point works excellent too.

It keeps it from sticking to your fingers and you can spread and shape the silicone. Photo Flo is used to clean the chemicals from your photos after developing, It's soap. Dawn is a clear dish detergent much like the photo flo and is mild. The woman is an amazing photographer so I just followed her advice. It worked.

The bubbles from it would spread out like the Eggplant that Ate Chicago [This was an old B science fiction movie]. BTW Deb what does Photo-flo do for your flies?
