Fishing a water with crays - not horrendous but enough to be a pain

Are there particular liquids to avoid? I wasn't thinking I'd use Butyric Acid for example!

Any other favourites people have? Or other liquids that work well with plastics/fake baits?

I've had a selection of wooden balls (with glued in rig rings) marinating for well over a decade now - PP60 and lashings of NButyric . . .zero adverse effects . . you've reminded me to go and do my annual agitation!
