Drying Down Filled Clothing, Sleeping Bags and Comforters

 TUMBLE DRYING IS BEST. Bring a good book and a roll of quarters.
You may dry using the hang drying method, but tumble drying in a large machine on low heat, is far better. If your laundromat has an ‘extractor’ machine, use it. This high speed drum will gently spin a lot of water out of the garment/sleeping bag and hasten the drying process.Tumble drying helps fluff-up the down and hastens process. Some people recommend adding a few clean tennis balls or a pair of sneakers to the dryer in an effort to fluff the down and break-up the wet clumps. We feel that the light weight of tennis balls does very little to help. A pair of sneakers on the other hand could damage the item. We suggested pulling the item out of the dryer and manually checking for wet clumps breaking them up with your fingers every 15 minutes.

WHAT IS A CAPFUL? I have a bottle of the Granger's Wash-In Waterproofing for Synthetic Fabrics.  The instructions refer to a measure called a "capful."  The cap of the bottle consists of a large cap, and a smaller threaded cap inside of it.  The two are considerably different in volume.  Which cap do the instructions refer to?
The ‘capful’ referred to in the instructions are for the full (large) capful.
