i mean not to argue the point but ... cornstarch is usually made into a slurry ... added and brought to a high simmer to acheive it's true thickening ability

might as well add dry dusty dirt or flour ... you'll acheive the same results

might i ask what you have added to this castor based canine lure to make it so soupy it needs thickening? or does it really need thickening? just curious \:\)

for a quick easy to obtain remedy, go to the grocery store and get you a box of knox gelatin ... it's the stuff that firms up jello lol add sparingly and keep adding until you achive what you are looking for


an interesting idea. think it would go bad if there wasn't any preservative present in the lure? if the lure thickened with it was to get hot, then cold, then hot, etc... will it continue to be jelled or would it turn back to a watery state?

All good but mostly mediocre.

What would be a good thickener to add to a canine lure? I've got an experiment going and right now its a bit watery and I would like to thicken it up a bit so I can do some test sets.


I have a dumb question. Why do you want to thicken it? Why not put it in a 4oz flip top bottle and squirt it where you want it?

Never argue with a fool - they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
