You have misunderstood the worth of the patent. It gives you NO protection. Its only a piece of evidence you can try to use to prove you had the idea first. Its kind of a license to let you hire an attorney (or a dozen) to defend it in court or to sue others for patent infringement. Without court actions it has very little value in intellectual property protection, in fact it gives away that intellectual property. That makes it easier to be copied or worked around.
You say you don't have the bucks to get the patent. Then you don't have the big bucks to protect the patent. You can't play the game. The only way you can win is to make a bunch, sell them and then forget about them as if they are good they will be copied and improved upon by many others around the world. If there's some secret formula, keep it as a secret, though in today's world MSDS give away most of the details of any such formula and you can't sell industrially without the MSDS.
With the billions of thinking beings on this planet, its quite possible your idea has been invented and tossed away three times in recorded history. Do the on-line patent search, you will be amazed at what has already been done, as I have noted many times in my engineering career, "Its damn hard to invent a NEW wheel!"
