After removeing the red membrane how many of you grind the outer caseing along with the meat of the castor?

There is two ways, one grinding up whole castor and adding a solvent and other is letting dry to a very hard brittle consistancey and crush the flint like castor to a powder and then add yr solvent. Both ways work fine. Some just have learned differant methods and use what ever suits them.

OK Mr. Red old felloew old friend, what is your perferred solvent when making let's say chunk bait?

I crush up completely dried ones into some form of liquid such as mineral oil, vasoline, etc. and this works well for other beaver...or I put the dried dust into my chunk bait for predators. A little goes a long ways in chunk bait, but I put it in heavy for beaver work.
