maybe, blurb says they become more buoyant as they dry, wasn't expecting them to become more bouyant in the water
I dried them for 10 days, first time I've used them, only added a couple of mils of CSL /Cell activator to a pot of 50 on Friday.
TBH I didn't try to balance them on the tank test after 7 days drying, held up a size 4 hook over a AAA weight for a couple of days, more than my day only sessions will ever need.

I may just fish the roving rod 8" off the bottom next time

Not CCM, but I've had homemade wafters loaded with heavy liquids that became semi pop-ups once the heavy liquid foods leached out in place of the water.

Anyone had issues with CCM pop-up mix gaining more buoyancy after 50-60 minutes in the water?
Not complaining, I had a 24lb common but I'd shotted the rig, tested it in the margin and after catching found that what had originally sunk was now lifting the shot and popping up 8" off the bottom.
