Egg Marinade While Curing

[cotalot]

This is my first Ifish post. I've learned a lot from these posts and I've always enjoyed the sharing of ideas, methods, experiences etc.
I've had pretty good success for fall 'nooks this year and last. I've experimented with different cures. The last couple batches were cured whth Crowe's "Backbouncing" blend. Now I'm adding scents at the re-absorbing phase. Everyone has their idea on what to add (mine, has been "Kenai Cocktail" and Marie's Shrimp Oil).
My question is, is it possible to make the marinade blend "too hot", that is, adding too much and actually repelling fish. I used this blend for the first time Thanksgiving morning and got no bites until the eggs have been in the water for a few casts. Coincidence, or did the scent need to dilute a bit? What are your experiences with this?

They could be too hot

I almost always add my scents while fishing...

Aren't Crowes and Priddy good cure the same? Or am I having a senior moment? I agree with
Dave, add while fishing. You can add during the juice phase but if you want something different you might need 5 or more cures to cover different situations.

Yes...a little bit goes a long ways when adding scents. Have to remember that anadromous fishes sense of smell is measured in parts per billion .

cotalot,

One potential issue with adding scents to your eggs is what if they dont want that flavor that day?
