Why was yours so expensive? Over $700 a gallon seems a little spendy.....
It comes in very small packages .5 fl oz ~$6

I would think Glycerine is too Thick. The thinner Propylene Glycol that you buy from most trapping supply dealers is the way to go adding several parts water and it can be sprayed onto your sets. John, I’m going to use a squirt bottle so that I can squirt the glycerine right around the jaws. I figure I will know pretty quick whether I like it better or not. It has been suggested to me quite a few times, and I’m gonna try it this year. If I don’t like it, I will go back to the glycol and a spray bottle.

If you cut it 50/50 with distilled water, it makes a good humidifying agent for a cigar humidor.

I sewed a pocket inside my lure vest,keeps it easier to use. Don't forget the springs and leavers.

I start the season that way, but when you get into the serious freeze conditions, that is when I mix it in the mixer. With the top dress of wax dirt, you have a solid trap, and a water proof, freeze proof set that works. Last time I'm gonna say it!

I have a almost full gallon left over from 3 years ago. Will it still be "odorless"?

The more in the jug, the better off you are. I can't say for sure, I am not a chemist, but I believe it is the air in the partial jug that lets it oxidize. I know if you leave the lid off the jug for a few days, the smell goes away. I have never had an issue using glycol on sets, and regularly catch yotes the first night. All the glycol I have on hand, I have had for several years now. I'm going trapping tomorrow, and I'm setting just like I always have, gonna use it up. Several jugs are half full! The yotes don't care!

(The yotes don't care!) All I can comment on is what happens to me . The Propylene Glycol I got from Tractor Supply cost $20.00 a gallon .I don't know the quality of it . But I do know the half gallon I had left over one year . Took on a very strong chemical odor . It was very strong. And I can say without question the fox around here did care . I can't speak for yotes. There aren't any here yet .

Wax dirt is the best thing I have found it works even with the funky weather we get here in SD rain/snow, freeze/thaw and it still works to point its scary at times. Have had traps buried under a foot and a half of snow that when it melts off they fire no problem.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

The Glycol I have I got from Ogorman. I believe it has coyote urine mixed in with it. The jug looks almost new because I had it stored out of the sun. It has a strong urine smell. May be I could open it and let it air out. Other then that it looks fine. But for the $20 it costs and the limited 2 month season we have here in Maine I think I should toss it. I hate wasting anything
