I have a can of the Brooks Proofide, the smell is horrendous, but I think some women actually like that smell. -tom

saturated with Proofide dressing is a constant struggle.
I developed an easy and fool-proof method.
The evening before each ride, I melt about an inch of Proofide in a 10" cast iron skillet. I dip bike shorts into the Proofide and squish the shorts a few times with a flat-face potato masher, so the chamois soaks up the maximum amount of Proofide.
The shorts line-dry overnight over my bathtub. In the morning, voila! I'm wearing a Proofide applicator for the commute!

New (2003 copper-top tin, 2004 green one) Proofhide actually smells nice - not like a charnel house. It's completely different in texture too.
Not only that, the newer proofide with the silver-topped cover is thinner and runnier, and each package comes complete with 25% less of that thick stuff than what you used to get with the large, copper-top rimmed containers (56g vs. 40g.)
