Making new resin batch..any request?

Hi everyone. Just about to order some more pine resin to make the stick bait glue, as JPThuy called it, "Leo's Lunker Loogie", or the official "BBG Brand Natural Glue for Live Baits". That is one freaking long title. "BBG Bait Glue"..There you go.

If there are interested parties, I'll order extra resin, and grab more heat tempered glass jars from the local $0.99 stores, and process the resin according to temperature of your local areas. Let me know. So far, Federico confirmed it worked well. Three others in FL indicated it nailed fish quite well with local grubs and maggots. I got a few here in CA in the mountains and valleys also indicate it's a hot item for carps, cats, and trouts using non-impaled worms which lasted up to 2 hours on the same worm, yielding 4 catches per worm. WOW!

Suggested donation just for shipping and material costs. No production cost involve. My way of saying, glad to be among you guys:

Cost breakdown: $65 (correction from $55.96 due to shipping cost) per 5lb (80oz).
2-stage filtration recovery from 80oz at 75% to remove all impurities: 60oz (1oz purified = $1.08, and not $0.93). However, I'm grabbing the $80/80oz pre-filtered resin cake rather than the raw, so the cost will be a flat $1/oz. Cost saving..
Heat tempered glass container: $0.99
Shipping and handling USPS prior mail, via standard box any where in the U.S.A: $5.75
OR...
Shipping and handling USPS 1st class in an envelope..hm..not recommended, in the U.S.: $2.50

Total for priority mail: $7.74 for 1ounce. Any additional ounce, I have to put in a separate bottle. So, that's rounded to $2 per oz, plus the shipping cost (sorry about the small container size..much easier to handle this way). Make sure to let me know a few things so I can formulate base on your needs:

Temperature of the water you're fishing from, or expecting the temperature to be. Once the resin hits the water, it will harden slightly. The base temp for the resin to be malleable to put on the hook is at 75°F. When you dip your bait into the water, the resin may harden up just a tad. Need a lighter, warm the resin up within 1 to 2 seconds, cool it by blowing on it once, and stick another live baits on.
How many ounce you want. With priority, I can go up to 5lbs I think (80oz total). Remember, 1oz will go a LONG LONG WAY!

Comment by Leo Nguyen on February 9, 2012 at 3:34pm: Oh, by the way, Gorilla glue takes 5 minutes to cure and hold the bait down. By that time, most soft outer membrane live bait get intoxicated and croak ;-)

Cost at top, and you can do it yourself too. Just making larger batch for everyone at one time, who ever is interested I guess.

Comment by John Sheehan on February 9, 2012 at 3:25pm: Gorilla glue is out I guess Leo .This sounds great but I haven't really been following.I like the self sufficiency concept .How's the cost ? I'm sure you've covered this before and I'm late to the scene . Got a link?
