Personally, I slice up the sac membrane and contents all at once. I started out adding sac oil but found it isnt necessary for a basic lure. You could add all kinds of attractants if you wanted to.

Asa has a good point. How dry the castors are will determine if and how well they will grind with a household model. Mine were not very dry.

Many use glycol or a similar product when grinding, as it helps it through the grinder....

I use the old Hand Grinder, then Add the MTP Glycerine and mix it in the Blender...

I like a couple people above make 2 or 3 different recipes to use as change-ups...

25 years ago I carried around a Jar with just the dried castor and swamp water... It worked just like that for a couple years. Then I started making lure...

Picked up this handy little food grinder(Sunbeam) on clearance at Fleet Farm. Came w/10 4-6 oz jars w/sealed covers. Just put ingredients in jar(I precut chunky things like dried castor glands) put on bladed cover, grind as needed and swap w/ regular cover. Very handy for simple batches of lure like castor. Also fun for mixing up experimental baits and such. Jars and cover are very heavy duty but drive motor is limited(grind for short periods). Some type of liquid helps. No mess, no fuss.
