Vitalin makes a decent method mix.

Just get some mixed pellets and scald them down.. They make a great method mix with no fuss.
I have no problems getting them to bind once they've soaked up the liquid. I use either with the ESP mega Method feeder, the mould type or the classic inline versions...
I often add some liquid attractant and ground up boilies & hemp as well. You can give it a fair old cast and it won't come off..

Sensas pv1 binder......

If you find you need a binding agent then PV1 is probably the best around

I use neat Robinson's Blackcurrant for making up my method mixes. I just add it to brown crumb, fishmeal, feed pellets and whatever else might be going in.

The juice adds a nice pinky/red colour, adds a fruity flavour to the mix, which tench and carp seem to like and it's sticky enough to bind the mix.
