Does anyone know what months of the year its good to use, ie, when would you start using it ? is it any good in spring ? etc, etc .
I just bought some and had a sniff yesterday afternoon, the smell is still on my fingers and all i did was open the bottle , and the utility area is stinking of the stuff !

Yeah, even swarfega doesn't touch the smell of butyric,

Just about the only thing you can do is sit with your hands in the sink, with damp hands lathered in a heavily perfumed soap for ten minutes. This masks it somewhat. Albeit it you'll be far better off going with latex gloves next time. Unfortunately it transfers like anything so if not careful everything will smell of it

Wash your hands with a paste of bicarbonate of soda. It will neutralise the acid and help with the smell. Soaps and perfumes will only mask it.

Tried that, its not irritation Its the smell, bicarb doesn't touch it. it will fade of its own accord all you can do is mask it until then

I'm talking about the smell. Neutralise the acid, neutralise the smell. It does work. Soap will only mask the smell. It's not only carp anglers who use carboxylic acids and an alkaline paste is the general cleaning solution.

Swarfega is for oil and grease so certainly would not work.

extremely popular, to be fair its an incredibly nice smell, not that I think carp smell in the same way we do, would be nice to go home smell of it instead of hydros lol

I haven't touched that stuff for probably 10 years if not more!
Is it the same as it once was?

20-40 drops of butyric in a pot of finished baits is ok? That's 1-2ml. Seems awfully high considering of 4 drops is added before boiling. Or is this due to the eggs not binding?

Cheers
