I'm too old to change what ain't broke
It took me years, YEARS, to find the best suppliers of some of the essential musk oils and ingredients for trapping lures. They are pricey as can be because the perfumery industry as it's called globally is just a pricey place to do business, but... a little dab will do ya.

I find that thickeners alter the smell of the attractant even though the thickener has no smell, so I don't use them.
I get the goo to where I like it and "bring in the bottler!" = Donna and I.

Blessings to GA!

Lure management? You guys are organized. Mine usually find their way into a coat pocket or somewhere they shouldn't be. Got a suprise when I had to mask up to grab a cup of coffee at gas station. Apparently my mask had spent the night in my cupholder with a bottle of gusto.
