I picked up an ounce of Canton C12 from the boss in Springfield. Will it enhance and boost castor if used sparingly ? I’ve never used it but read that somewhere I think. I know it’s primarily a canine ingredient. Thanks.

Either nobody has tested those 2 together or they aren't giving out free information. You may have to test it yourself. You will learn more and gain more confidence testing stuff yourself. Testing is almost as fun as trapping for me.

If it is good C 12 then it can be used as a general fixative for one use in a formula or it can be used as an odor enhancer of a single ingredient prior to its use as a single element or for its later use in a formula, Ambergris is another good product if you can find good material.

You will need to experiment with what suits your nose and do your testing for the results. That is one of the challenges of lure formulation, understanding the use function and amounts according to the strength of the element material to be used.

Then knowing that some ingredients may take some time to permeate into your formula then begin to vapor release that is to your liking. Do not be tooooo anxious to add more too quickly.. At that point it is too late to take back what is already done.

Thank you Bob....often willing to help. I just use a few ingredients for my own lures. Ambergris in cat/otter gland ( per Mel Hershberger). I also know what you mean on not being in a hurry and/or adding too much. Thought I ruined a half gallon of castor once with too much high grade lovage but after six months or so the castor came back around sweet. Jeff and I didn't talk about Canton. We discussed beaver castor. He told me it took that long for the castor to absorb the lovage and stuff takes time... I'll never be a luremaker. Just enjoy playing with some stuff and sometimes it actually turns out good. Hard to mess up castor but I suppose it could be done.
