I use a simple cure that Paul Beaupre taught me and that I slightly modified. Split a full skein lengthwise and put in a gallon ziplock bag. Add about 2-3 Tbsp of picking salt, 1/4 Tsp of bait dye, and maybe a 1/2 Tsp of a cure like Wet Pac. Gently mix up the contents of the bag and put in the fridge overnight. The eggs will juice out, then suck all the liquid back up. Remove skeins from the bag and quickly rinse under tap cold water, then dry on racks until you get the firmness you prefer. Roll up in Shop towels and refrigerate for 3 days. Eggs can then be used as is, or vacuum packed and frozen. A few reasons I like this cure include: 1) The cure doesn't dry and crack the crap out of my fingertips like the full chemical cures do, 2) The eggs can be dried if wetter than you like, or rehydrated with a sprinkle of water to soften them back up, and 3) They keep for years, as I have used eggs as old as 12 years that still fished great. Good luck!
