I have had a cabinet blaster for years. Sounded like a good investment at the time for similiar type work. It takes time to do one or two traps at a time. It works but is time consuming.

A tumbler with media type pea gravel in a mixer would be a faster way. I have a large drum I use for a good vinegar soak and a pressure wash when done. It works as fast as anything I have found in the past to do a lot of traps. Still time consuming but that is part of the gig.

I remember the blessing of the throats with two candles taped together forming an X. Like you, Foxxkid, I didn't remember why they did that until GCP explained it. I do recall that was the reason.

If he painted those he must have been on quite a trip, LSD maybe?

It slips over the hinge barrels, no need to pull the pin...most of the time. Sometimes a thick casing will get in the way but it works with most standard casings.

You'll still have an offset with most jaw designs. It just won't be as aggressive as the factory offsets but ateast the pinch part of the offset will be gone. Not sure what would happen if you had lugged offset traps though..

I need my backyard ! Its the only place my kids and puppies have to play. My front yard has my muscle cars and and my boats parked in it. And "how dare" those utility companies run their power lines right in front of my house.

Hard to beat fish.

Thank you Boco for taking the time to explain the set. I don’t remember the name “silt” but I successfully used the principle!

Thanks. I have not seen that site before.
