Good primer on propionate Palmetto Balsa. I was introduce to it by Swede who invested more than 8 years in sourcing for the material & also to finally determine which is the correct shore hardness of the pellets for lure building. As too high it becomes brittle and too low it does not serve the seal & protect purpose. Getting the correct shore hardness for the pellets is one of the key issues. PSSsss, let you in on a secret, Swede is getting his from the same source as Rapala and he's got too many kilograms of it Bug him if anyone wants some to try; price is really affordable too. A win win material for sealing and top coating if you want to do that too. skeeter jones, the trick with propionate solution is to go thin (consistency of milk/juice or thinner) and many dips.
