I have only done 3 skunks with acetone , all 3 required a second dose . Is that common ? I gave them 12 cc then 10 cc

Fast & Easy to make...
Here's how I made my jab pole-

I used 4' fiberglass post


with a steel pipe to fit over end of fiberglass post, about 2" long

cut 4 slots in one end of steel pipe

file all burrs in slots


cut off thumb piece (round top) of plunger to create a cross


fit plunger into slots, file if needed for better fit


Attach metal to fiberglass (epoxy or glue) and you are good to go.

I did modify my pole to 5' long with handle.
I cut off a golf putter (yard sale fine) and epoxy'd the putter handle to fiberglass. Plus a camo paint job.

The rubber swells and prevents the syringe from working. I use a light weight motor oil to coat it afterwards but that only goes so far. Now I replaced the rubber end with a chemical resistant O-ring.

Here's my new push stick with a replaceable o-ring. You can use just about and 3/8" rod, thread it and cut it to your preferred legnth.


Also been developing a longer syringe. A bit more complicated but it works great.

Rubbing alcohol works for me, I have used the same plunger for over 100. I never rinse or worry about it.

If you get tired of acetone, vodka is supposed to work as well.
Got this from a bait maker who says bait makers using skunk carcasses won’t take an acetone dispatched skunk.
