DIY smoke in a bottle?

[deadI]

Just wondering if any of you guys make your own, if so what do you use, flour, babypowder, chalkdust, what works best.

Corn starch, baby powder is sented.

I tried everything over the years, including corn starch. None worked as well as the original powder. Then I got a tip from a guy in the industry of what many companies use. Go to a sports store and buy a bag of baseball chalk powder (for batters box/foul lines) or see if you local little league will donate a cup or two. It works MUCH better than corn starch and is odorless. Hope it helps and good luck.

Scentfree won't make a difference. If the critters can smell the stuff they'll sure smell you. I'm pretty sure the stink of humans is more offensive than the smell of cornstarch. I use a bottle in a week or less because I'm constantly checking the wind, the number one cause of unsuccessful setups. I use cornstarch or when feeling rich I'll buy a bottle from one the many venders.

Thanks for the help. I have been using flour, but it compacts to easily, you have to shake it up before squishing the bottle.
Thanks for the help.

What kind of bottle do you guys use with this stuff?

I use baking soda in a plastic squeeze bottle with a top that pulls open and pushes shut like the top of a bottle of liquid dish soap.

I have not tried to use sports chalk, but none of the other item carry as well as the actual smoke in the bottle.

The last few years I've been using talc powder for billiard (pool) players. It seems to work pretty good.
