stem rot / Captan

When making a paste using Captan, how much do you use and how much water?

I applied some more yesterday (more of a liquid than paste) to a soft spot where 
the stem intersects the d/s portion of the main.  I first scraped some of the 
soft material out, although it wasn't much.  Then I applied Captan and put a fan 
on it during the day and overnight.  Should I keep a fan on it 24/7, during the 
day only, or at night with the high dampness?

Another question I had: is there any need to keep the secondaries downstream 
from the pumpkin?  I would not think so since you want the energy going to fruit 
and not beyond it.  I am still getting a very small amount of growth at the end 
of one secondary.
