In essence I'm NOT boosting the gland lure... HOWEVER I AM boosting the urine's appeal... ;D Urine is a MAJOR appeal... toss in some glands... WORKS for me!! lynx

Yes you are "boosting" something depending on ones interpretation and as I stated it will work nicely. Good strong cat urine or other specie urine by itself is a primary attractant and many an animal has been taken on just that alone or with some suggested eye appeal or simply applying it close to a walk through set. It will stop them for a sniff, rub and squirt.

I mixed the glands with enough froze out cat pee to cover. I mixed 3 big tablespoons of sodium Benz. to the pee. 106 here today, I have 3 different colored layers in the jar. Is that normal? What is the best way to keep it from happening?

Separation is very common when you have different weight materials in a formula.
Unless you add a stablizer or thickening agent to bind the materials at some point after sitting for some time especially in high temperatures the material will once again stratify due to the various densities of the ingredients. The solids will rise to the top and the urine acid/water material will typically be layered under the surface of the solids.
This separation does not affect the quality of the material, you just must aggitate the mix prior to use to thoroughly mix the actives for application.

I'm not in the habit of shaking a lure bottle before I use it and at 3 or 4 in the morning I will not remember to do it. What would be a good stabilizer? Lanolin, glycerine? I kinda like a thick lure myself (paste like) if that makes a difference.

Somebody mentioned before that they mixed glands of species. I have a quart jar full of fox, cat, rat, mink, and fox glands all mixed ytogether aged 3 years and smells nice. Haven;t tried using it yet, i don't see why it wouldn't work anyone ever try it?
