How To Dye Traps | Easiest Way To Protect Your Traps | Trap Maintenance 

In this video, team member Cory Ashbaugh shows how he chose to dye/paint his predator traps after the trapping season had ended. Trap maintenance is a crucial part to successful trapping. This can make your traps work more efficiently and last much longer! If taken care of properly, they will last forever.
Cory treated the traps with flat rust oleum paint and acetone. This is very similar to the “speed dip” method most every trapper has heard of. The paint acts like the speed dip to coat and protect the trap. The acetone acts as the gasoline which just thins the paint to make the process easier. Using a 1:1 ratio of paint to acetone seemed to be about the perfect combination! This method was extremely effective and we look forward to putting its durability to the test next trapping season.
Feel free to offer up any questions and/or suggestions y’all may have! We appreciate y’all watching and good luck on your trap lines!
