YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Laser Lites Drape and Silk Can't remember if I've done a thread on these two before or have just mentioned them. Drape is quite an amazing product, as it is very versatile depending on the dilution rates you use. It is a leave in conditioner. I personally think it would be good for cotton coats but I don't know I have a silk. What I love about it, is for when you want to wrap your dog, you use a 1"5 dilution rate or even one to 8 and after blowdrying that hair will be slightly "greasY', and of course brush out is a breeze. It is great to use when the hair dries out in the winter time, and I use a lot of it then, and in the summertime when we are swimming 3times or more per week, as the sun and water tend to dry out the coat. Now you can mix it with Silk and Silk gives an incredible sheen to the coat. You just need one teensy little capful. I bought these two products when Razz was about 1.5 yrs old and now at 3 yrs and a bit I need to order more. Now I would always blow dry the coat if using a leave in conditioner. The coat might start out feeling/looking greasy but by the time the blow dry is done it won't if you've use a dilution rate appropriate to your aims. Another trick I've used is in the final blow dry time I put the dryer on cool. That also imparts a nice shine. Silk can be diluted and used as a grooming spray. Use distilled water for dilution particularly if you are making a fairly large amount that might last you a month or more.

| laser lites Hi Gail, your information are always very useful. You are right Drape is a great product ! I like also Protein treatment and Wow. Yesterday I went to international show and bought Silk, as you know I want try IOD products but nobody sell IOD in Italy so I will order them in Belgium. Now I have another great doubt : I am thinking to buy good shears/scissors for paws ( not for pads, for hair ) and for body length but there are so many brands, sizes measures etc... and I'm so confused... some suggestion? |

You need to see if scissor/shear is well balanced, it should balance with handle on palm of your hand and the scissor par balanced off the palm freely. So to do paw with straight shears; from outside line of paw - scissor straight back, then do same to inside line; the straight across front of paw. Clean up edges voila = rounded neat paw.
