I find if you do a batch of vitalin by covering it with boiling water, letting it stand and cool for 3 or 4 hours, then freezing it does me nicely. The freezing breaks the vitalin down and gets rid of that glutinousness it sometime gets. once defrosted I use 2parts vitalin to 1 part browncrumb, handfull of crushed hemp, handfull of powdered trout pellet, a big glug of molasses and I seive or blend the lot together, when you squeeze it it holds together perfectly to suit the method feeder and it breaks up with a lovely fizz. If its to dry I wet it up a bit on the bankside or if I prep up at home I liquidise a tin of sweetcorn and use that, I have had tench playing football with my feeder to get at the vitalin mix. I also mix in prepared partiblend or hemp depending on what and where I am fishing. Btw if you add to big of a proportion of particles to your mix it doesnt bind together very well and it breaks up on casting.
