I use fish oil to cut mine. Seems to work decent. Mine is mostly used as a trailing scent or just off the edge of trails

Mine is mostly used as a trailing scent or just off the edge of trails It'll separate so you need top shake it before use but it'll work IF you want fishy odors there. I have used it that way with good success but prefer no fishy smells for my trailing scents to help avoid non-target catches, specifically in DP trap situations.

I see no reason to thin it. I never have anyway. Coons love it.

When I used to try make home made lures, I always had trouble with thin an thick separate, well not mix well an separate on ground, glycol was said to be good to mix with fish oil, I try that an upon checking traps, I could clearly see the glycol seperate from fish oil on ground by pocket set on Creek bank, I then an now use glycerine, how much does cheap molasses cost ? This is giving me ideas, I wonder how would squirt or at all, from 16 oz, squirt bottle with a flip top that mixed with salmon oil ? Or smell? I not thinking that well squirt at all ? But sounding like good attractant, not sure how well do in freezing weather

Why waste time thinning the stuff. I go down to the local feed mill and one can buy a gallon about 9 lbs. for $2 or less. It's 20 cents a lbs.
Bryce Because when it’s cold enough outside, I don’t wanna be waiting on the molasses to squirt. Also, a pancake syrup bottle happens to be pretty useful for a squirt bottle, and it has a big hole to squirt out of. It doesn’t have anything to do with trying to save money or molasses. It’s just easier that’s all. Doesn’t take much effort to dump a little bit of molasses and syrup into a squirt bottle. A lot less effort than it takes to squirt straight molasses in a freezer. I get unlimited French fryer oil so once the syrup is gone, I use fry oil until the syrup bottle is shot, then I go buy another bottle of syrup for $1.

Bryce No around here. They want like $60+ for a 5 gallon bucket. Also I have bought it that was about as thick and pancake syrup and some so thick you could hardly squeeze it out of a milk jug with the lid off.

Exactly-so asked how to thin it out so that you CAN squeeze it out of a squeeze bottle-thank you guys!
