Grinding glands

I fixing to grind a bunch of coyote glands. Do yall grind your course first and then fine ? Or just fine right off the bat ? I wanting to age them some not rot.

I grind mine once through a fine plate.

Thanks Mr. Paul

I grind twice typically through 1/8th inch plate. Once is ok but twice gives you a faster break down and allows for a more creamy end result. All depends upon your end result texture as to choice of plates and how many times you grind.

I use a 3mm plate, which I think is 1/8, like Bob uses. After the glands rot down for at least 5 years, they're like puddy, and very nice to work with. It may take less time than that, but I like them to be good and stable before I use them. I'm currently using glands from 2008.

I also grind when semi frozen. Much less binding and hang up on the blade and it keeps the grinder cooler if you are grinding several gallons.

Great advice from some seasoned veterans in the lure making world.
