Best use I found is run some in my beard. Sure turn the ladies on. If I really want to turn it up I add 3 drops of skun essence per oz.

I ground it up in an old blender and mixed with dark karo syrup, it has been fine on the shelf for a couple years, sugar preserves stuff.

Coonman, grind up some dry hard castor,to a powder, I use one of them cabbage salad grinder things, mix with gliseren, if you have a few rat glands you can cut em up and throw em in, some guys put a little sack oil in. I have castor that my dad caught in late 70s, hard as a rock, I’ve been saving the shells for lure lately.

I air dry my castors then cut them up in pieces. Put them through the grinder with the smallest holes. I then mix with glycerin and 100 ° vodka to inhibit mold and as Paul says gift "lift" to the castor

I have an old blender I use to grind castor. I make four different types, all four have glycerin mixed in. I have one with anise oil added, one with poplar bud oil added, one with sac oil added, and one with only glycerin.

I run the Dried but not too dry castor through a Rocket grinder.
add Glycol , Capful of Pepermint Schnops, few drops popple bud oil, few drops of Beaver sac oil. Mix and set aside.

Use as needed. Good for about Everything

Ground castor and glycerin, you can get glycerin at Walmart. Add a little bit of cheap rotgut whiskey and vanilla extract if you want. I don't catch a lot of beaver, but it works for me.

I slice up castor glands with a scalpel knife. I mix my ingredients in a cheap food processor from the Dollar Store. I add the following….blackstrap molasses ( thanks Boco ), glycerin, Everclear grain alcohol, and poplar bud oil.

I'm sure everyone here has a dedicated lure blender or grinder. I also doubt it's in their cupboard (that would probably tick their wife off) probably an outdoor shed or garage. A basement could also work.

Coonman, go to local thrift store or goodwill store and buy a used blender. Also you can find used crock pots to melt wax in or make waxed dirt.

I used the ole lady's food processor which she got as a wedding gift 10 years prior, but never used. Well, since I was in that wedding as the husband, I figured that I was equally vested in that wedding gift.
I soon learned that I was sorely mistaken, and learned quick that "figuring" is detrimental to marital bliss.
She still brings that episode up 27 years later when she runs out of things to fuss about.
Apparently I am indeed a keeper, given that she's still here.

I use a manual grinder($2 at garage sale)with hand crank, but removed the crank and attach the DeWalt drill to grinder. Works pretty slick

My marital bliss would be very compromised if I were to refer to my wife as "ole lady".
