I use Do-it HD Sinking Additive in my sinko's. (page 128 of the catalog) Now this stuff is stiff and you have to really stir it good to get it broke up. Also your colors will be solid (no transparent)

I'm a HD fan...but only for darker colors.

There are a number of great threads on using glass beads (NOT blasting material) like:

I prefer to chase the weight of my wacky jig most of the time.

I use quite a bit of softner in my worm baits and especially in the skinny carrots.  But do not like how it affects paddle tails etc.  I use hardener in a few of my baits that I feel need to be stiffened up and sometimes salt.
