Preppin for PA 2014 Trapping Season! Piccs

[howlyote]

Dipped some # 2 Dukes/Victor traps to dye for the season! Just a quick survey : Do you dye & wax your traps at the same time, or dye first then quick dip them in wax ?

Time to let em set

Dye them when cool rinse off let dry then wax. When waxing let the trap get hot as the wax before removing them hang to dry.

Thank you! Ill have to go get some paraffin wax ! and quick dip then soon! season starts in a few weeks !

I boil mine in baking soda, rinse traps and pot and then dye and wax in one step in the same pot, but what do I know?

 

[NYCOYOTEHOUNDS]

I dye and wax separate with separate pots.

Boil in hardwood ashes from fireplace, rinse, dye in boiling scrub oak leaves, rinse and let dry, then wax in separate pot.
