Nah you get away with a lot more than that.

Best thing to do is mix however many drops you wanna add into 5ml MPG or Glycerine, sort of shields the egg. You can also add once the paste is sort of like a batter.

We use about 20g in a 2kg wet mix pop up run, that’s about 38/40 eggs. I never go over 1% of wet mix though, I find it misbehaves after that.

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

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

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.

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
