Based on the evidence thus far, i have put the 2 main posts at the top of the thread.If this all turns out to be factual it can be made a sticky  .
Can we please have our resident bait makers input on this please  .

Hollow as in 'glass bubbles'. 
what do they look like...........in the bag.......a very fine light powder, out of the bag........a very fine powder that slowly drops to ground level and floats around if disturbed. A bit like powder snow or wading around in polystyrene balls.
Buoyancy........think of an airball pop-up as being 20% micro encapsulated air

Agreed Keith IF, and thats a very big IF, you do follow the precautions, which is my point exactly.

you might say you would never do it to bait....bet a lot of people think that, and don't realise that half the pop ups they've got are glass!!!
The effect on the fish is secondary in my opinion, how many pop ups get ingested by carp - not many!
Spread the word to anyone you know that's even thinking about making their own.
cheers

silverfish great link which backs up what i am saying. I am reading more and more "how do i make pop ups" replied with "just add 20% glass spheres..."
Be warned. And I ask the Mods again, this really should be a sticky - plenty of stickies about fish safety, this one is even more important, its anglers' safety.
For those that dont read silverfish's link,its the health and safety data sheet from the manufacturer 3M and it recomends proper goggles and PROPER facemask, not just a thin dust mask like you would wear decorating or something.
Be safe guys!
