Who's got as brother-in-law who is an industrial chemist? Or which institutional tehcnician here has a friend over in the chem department? What are "cationics", apparently a family of "softeners" listed on a jug of Snuggle. Do they actually soften fiber, or do they just lubricate the flexing of the fibers in the matt. (We're talking your dense-type hammer felts.) The solids in Snuggle show up to be a soft waxy film, when you let a puddle evaporate on a mirror. The solids stick remarkably well to the mirror. Any isoproyl alcohol evaporates within the first minute, and from then on it might as well be pure Snuggle straight from the bottle, left to evaporate.
