bit of a blast from the past but I was rooting around my collection of flavours and additives and came across about one & half bottles of part 2 activator.
Was it an enzyme to deactivate the CSL in part 1 ?

Part 2 was a enzyme to activate the csl. It was called phytase. If you are looking for something identical check out the cls from Mirage Baits run by Marcus Watts.

Wasn't looking for any just forgot what it did, must have been there for 20 years.

I wrote about this several years ago.
CSL contains phytic acid (phytate) which binds to certain minerals and can therefore contribute to mineral deficiencies because the minerals do not get released from the phytic acid and are thus unavailable to the body. The effect of phytic acid can be reduced to some degree by heat treatment. More effective is the enzyme phytase which can be used to break it down and release the minerals.
However, wild fish get all their mineral requirements naturally from the surrounding water, by absorbing them through the skin. Worrying whether carp have got enough minerals in their diet is the last thing that an angler should worry about.
So, phytase addition was all nonsense, like many other claims you see from bait sellers.

Interesting post.
Do you think that something like Glucoamylase plays a part in any of their liquid activators formula?
I have said it before and still firmly believe that Mainline have absolutely mastered the art of liquid attraction. It appears that not only is it attractive in its own right from an olfactory perspective. But their liquid formula seems to make the powdered ingredients react in synergy. Kudos to them I say.

It's Amalayse. Breaks carbs down into sugars.
Funny how a lot of successful baits/additives are based around sugars......

Sorry, but I don't have an opinion on present-day boilies or their additives. I no longer use or have any interest in such baits. With respect, it would be like fishing in the past.

You've befuddled me 😂
First of all, you do have an opinion because you suggest that it's like fishing in the past. But more confusingly, how is using present-day boilies and additives like fishing in the past ?

Because Serenity knows his onions, and if you think boilies are “peak modern” baits, you're wrong. Convenient, but not the best.

Amalayse reactivates the CSL.

I'm not suggesting that Serenity doesn't know his onions Lol. I'm quite happy with Mexican onion oil and even plain old white onion powder myself 😁 Just re read what he wrote in post 7 and then my reply. The confusing bit is stating that using present-day boilies and additives is like fishing in the past . And I never said that I think that boilies are " peak modern " baits . I am however open to suggestions with regards what " peak modern " baits might be.
