Ended up messaging sas baits on Instagram they just recommended thinning with water until the right consistency is achieved, well water mixed with the flavours of the pop ups, apparently the preservatives in the neat flavours and glycerine prevent the water from causing the baits to turn

Even better... get a good bottle of vodka put those few ml for spray and drink the rest with the lads.

Glycerine is pretty viscous stuff, it will unlikely go through an atomiser/ spray.

I use Mainline's Multi-Stim as a base for a booster liquid for my homemade popups (it also goes in them). Its a much thinner, pale red liquid with a slightly fruity undertone. Cant be overdone. I use appx 10ml multi-stim with 1ml flavour and a drop of sweet-ade. Keep a small bottle of this in my bag and jazz them up as and when required

Could you possibly Thin it down with an alcohol ?

Glycerine I tend to use changes viscosity depending on the temperature. So heating it up it may only got thicker again once cooled. Only guessing so Could be wrong.

Forgot to also ask about making the colour of the liquid lighter, as I’m making white pop ups the liquid is brown so after drying if I want to coat them in it it would dull the colour

I’m wanting to make a bait spray to make the homemade pop ups I’m rolling, however the flavour is only available in a thickish liquid that won’t spray, I remember seeing something about using glycerine but the human grade one I ordered is quite thick. I spoke to my uncle who is a chemical scientist, and it’s fine to heat it to try and thin it down. My question is has anyone had any experience using this or even other methods of thinning the liquids down?? Obv I didn’t wanna use water as this could encourage the baits to go mouldy
