My understanding is both will become smooth when properly slicking.
The water although smooth, will dry out, and let the plys come apart over time,
Gum Trag will stay where its put. much, much longer.
It also needs some sort of conditioner/sealer. such as bees, or parafin wax, saddle soap,
snow cream, glycerine, Aussie cream, etc.
I've tried several combinations and have yet to decide which I most prefer.
Be your own judge, try your own concoctions ?
Anybody agree or disagree ? ---------- Wild Bill46
