I know there are a number of cheese paste experts on here so here goes:
I made up a lovely ball roughly four weeks ago (short crust pastry, same amount of danish blue, cheddar, garlic paste). Seemed to be perfect. Put it in the fridge overnight for the next day's chubbing but when I came to use it, it felt too thin/sloppy. Stuck to my fingers etc, although one in every three pinches stayed on the hook.
1) I'm fishing on Friday. Shall I add more shortcrust pastry to stiffen it. Or something else?
2) How's best to use it (moulded round a hair-rigged boilie? Straight on a size 6 hook??)
3) Would you store it in the fridge, in the freezer, or just in the shed to get smellier and smellier. With the latter option I'm slightly concerned about mould. So far its been in the shed, has got WONDERFULLY smelly, but is showing signs of mould/hard skin.
4) OFF TOPIC - our fishing on Friday is on a river tagetting roach. (I'm taking a bonus rod for the chub/cheesepaste). Would you guys use liquidised bread (feeder) OR mashed bread (feeder, or fed by hand?)?
Bread flake on hook. Maggots back-up.
Sorry for the long post. Help appreciated.

Gus
