I am so glad you redid this painting traps video lol! I was fixing to go back through and try to find the old one. Keep up the good work brother and thank you for sharing your wisdom
Good video Dale, I used to paint mine the same way but I got back to boiling them again and dipping in FMJ. I'm retired and I don't have a fraction of the traps you do so the time isn't an issue. Thanks for sharing this Dale.
And you're absolutely right Ferengiprofiteer. Dyeing and waxing traps is fine if that's what you want to do. But it's very easy to get a contamination with wax. If waxed trap gets contaminated you have to reboil dye and wax it. If a painted trap gets contaminated, I can just wash it off and go again
I started using Rustoleum last season. It sure did work well. Then I waxed them the next day. I use lye to get the wax off. Great video Dale. I haven't watch a video yet of yours that wasnt a help for new or seasoned trapper. 👍🏻
Thank you Chip. I appreciate you watching. But I'm curious as to why you waxed the traps after you painted them?? The idea behind the paint is to get away from waxing. When you wax them you take a chance getting a contamination. The wax will hold foreign odors. I'm not saying you did anything wrong. I'm just curious that's all
Is there no end to this boy's talents? I'll bring a load to Sioux Falls and we can go downtown where you can give me "personal instruction". Those are the cleanest clumps of grass I have ever seen ! LOL. Keep up the "off season" chores for guys as there is ALWAYS something that gets forgotten until October. I have used the small "splits" for beaver for years as you can add an extension or an extra snare for an under ice beaver set (Which I know you gave up a long time ago. LOL.

@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 How-about we just take a break and visit over breakfast or lunch. After 55 +years of doing this stuff, it's more about "the people" than catching 400 coons in an hour or 50 otters a day from this side of the fence........................... the (older) mike
Never have used it Dan. All it is , is latex paint I believe. I've tried latex and didn't care for it because it flakes off after a catch too easily. The enamel is a harder more durable paint. Thank you for watching
