Fullers Earth is probably the most effective nylon fishing line cleaner / degreaser. I make my own by mixing the Fullers Earth into a paste with a little washing up liquid, and a few drops of glycerine to help keep it soft. I then keep it in a small plastic tub and it is applied to my nylon line via a small pad in order to help it cut through the surface film thus enabling it to sink.
An old idea, but still one of the best. Tight lines !

This product is fantastic to get bruises'swelling down. There are natural healing elements such as aluminium in this earth, which is called merrionite. It is green clay. It can be applied to the skin to ease pain.
I recommended to a lady who had a very tenacious shingles pain, although the shingles had gone. Whe applied it and told me the pain went like magic.
It can be taken in small quantities internally to detox the alimentary canal. It is used in toothpastes.
It is agsolutely safe to apply to bruises.
I had a broken thumb which got inflamed. The doctor wanted a cast. The technician did not wash the grazing. It got inflamed and smelly.
I asked for the cast to be removed. I washed the wound under tap water and applied a poultice of Fullers earth. In five days, the bruised skin had fallen and new skin grew marvelously. The doctor was very pleased with the progress and told me to carry on!
It is a good product, not an old wives' tale. It works. I recommend it fully.

Fullers Earth is yet another old product that is becoming more difficult to obtain. It is very effective for a variety of uses. I wanted it for making a home-made face mask using egg white and aloe vera mixed with the Fullers Earth. The quality of the product was good and the results of the face mask were very satisfying.
