Ive put ground castor in a glycol to tincture it. I shake it up every time I walk past it from winter to spring. Then poured off the top of it once it's done and settled.
I put that in a flip top squirt bottle

Then I add more ground castor and glycol and do it again over the summer

Ive also done the same thing with glycerine

While the glycerine seemed to have a stronger castor smell i liked the glycol better. For no other reason that it was thicker and dispensed how I like from the flip top squirt bottle.
I used the both for beaver trapping with a squirt on mudpies.
I didn't do enough trapping/testing with them to see if one out performed the other bit both caught beaver.
It was my intention to use these squirted down a dirt hole but haven't as yet experimented with it.
