I salt most of my mink glands just so I don't tie up freezer space. Glands will keep almost forever packed in salt. Mink glands from my experience will fade in a short time once ground. That is why it is recommended to grind them before adding to a mixture. Some materials help hold the odor longer. I have just recently discovered a material that holds the strong mink odor and will not fade out. Secret of course but adding ground glands to a mixture right away will help. Adam will we be able to buy some of your secret put up mink glands in the future?

Good glands will permeate thru a formula in time. Just the way aging works.
Preservation and stopping a batch is the last procedure in the process.
I always use SB to stop a batch of bait. It has been stated here, that SB and mink glands don't go together well. What should I use to "fix" a batch of bait that has mink glands added, so as to not degrade the effectiveness of the glands, in the bait mixture? MP?

I have always used pickling salt to preserve/stop bait with or without gland adds. And add glycerin to get the constancy I want. May be wrong, seems to work though.
