PondBoss Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I ran out of Bloxygen and my MCU started to skim over. Can I scrape off the top coating that has started to dry and use Bloxygen to save the rest? Or would I just need to buy more? Where can I find more? I purchased mine on Ebay, but it's super expensive to buy, any suggestions? Thanks for the help. PondBoss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBee Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I use Dick Nites MCU. Use this link and you'll recieve a great discount that he offers to TU members: http://www.dicknite.com/TU_Lander.htm. I've had to skim some hardened material off the top of my jar as well with no adverse effects to the finish of my lures but it did seem like the remainder went bad faster than my properly Bloxygened jars. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'd think you'd have the best chance to save whatever's still usable by adding the Bloxygen, and then skinning off the hardened material, to minimize exposure to the air.

RayburnGuy Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 It's been my experience with MCU that's once it's started skimming over your not going to "save" it. You can continue to use it by removing the skin and even prolong it's use by using Bloxygen, but it will eventually cure no matter what.

PondBoss Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I trashed it I went out to skim th top and try to save it with the new Bloxygen, but it had basically turned into a jelly. Already ordered more. I won't run out of bloxygen again. Lesson learned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I, for one, seem to learn the most from my mistakes. I once had a boss who made us fix our mistakes on our own time. Every time, he'd say, "School's expensive". He was so right, but I didn't make the same mistake twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I've tried several brands of MCU including Dick Nite and a couple of "generic" brands like Garco. I found the Dick Nite to be thinner and clearer than the othes and think his stuff may have more solvent in it because it doesn't "go off" as quickly as the others did. The question is whether to pay around $50 for the good stuff (Dick Nite) or go with a cheaper brand like Garco, which you can find on line for around half that price. Personally, I think the results with Dick NIte and the longer shelf life are worth the extra $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
