I have a friend who lives in Australia, well he is here in the states on business for the rest of the year, I think he lives near Sydney but he travels all over so...
  
  You mention for a school project. If you don't mind me asking what sort of project is it and will you continue to do the vids after the project?

That said my microwaved Vanilla DAT Food ones that I only micro'd for about 1 minute 30 seconds lasted at least 3 hours as they still caught fish after that time, though that was the longest between runs to be honest, so I cannot completely say.
  
  I enjoy microing them as well as I said on your photo..because they seem drier then traditional boiled ones and I have less issues with mold, unless of course you dry the boiled ones for a couple of days in which case they go like rocks. They also seem to seep flavor a bit better..you may notice in when you put em in the water, they just kinda leak better then the boiied ones imo.  less

I make simple pop-ups by rolling boilies in roughly 12-16mm ( you'll notice I prefer slightly larger on average boilies, typically using 16 and 18mm up to 22mm on the big rivers where some fish could basically suck in a golf ball if they wanted to with ease.) boilies then place about 30 at a time on a plate, not touching and micro them for 1 minute. I then remove the outer ones that fully cook, rearrange the others and redo for another 30-45 seconds. By taking the time and patience I can make useable pop ups without burning them which produce fish like mad because they seem to leak flavor much better then boilied baits.
  
  I also spoke with a German guy who micros all his boilies because his recipes are so water soluble that they start breaking down if he boils them.  less

This is a beginner recipe and whe I originally started doing it I had read and read and read and saw times ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. My first attempts at boilies tended to be rolled very large and I settled on a longer boiling time to make a firmer boilie. This was especially important because I used the blender to blend the eggs, which put a lot of air in, making the end boilies much softer then mixing them with a fork.
   
  I have found that using this recipe and anticipating most people will roll roughly 18mm boilies, which seems to be the case for some reason based on my experience during events/workshops etc., that the 3 minute mark creates useable, firm boilies without hassle. So I never bothered to change it figuring it was a good starting point.
   
  You are correct in that there are many time variations, based on size, ingredients and basically just how hard/soft you want the end result to be. My DAT Food boilies are...    less

  I used the URL from the first code only for the insert/embed option on the editor.
   
  Also you mention editing a post after you make it..I may be blind as it is early but I have not seen the option. Once I post something it seems I cannot edit it.
