Does Glycerin and / or Propylene Glycol evaporate in the open air?

Why don't you buy some of each and conduct an experiment?

Anything with moisture in time will dry out. Both the products you mention are good moisture holding materials and are used to retard evaporation and act as an antifreeze also.

They will not evaporate in a rate that would cause you a problem when used in urine or a lure.

Can glycol be used to "smooth" out a ground bait into a paste, or should glycerine be used...a little OT, but was curious as I have a gal. of glycol but little glycerine?

Listen to Morgan and then do the exact OPOSITE, if I were you, Coop!

"Bad Karma", think about it.... The name says it all.

Nah, BK is practically a neighbor. He wouldn't steer me wrong, We trap just a county apart, even if it is in different states.
