Do you guy's and gal's spray paint your DP or dye and wax them? Just ordered a dozen FB1's.

I just dip them in a thin mixture of speed dip. What ever you do it will have to be redone after a catch. The coon usually polish the traps up bare steel.

I spray painted mine some white and some black. Yes coon remove coatings like no other creature.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I never bother, for the reason stated. Waste of time.

I wouldn't bother.
Maybe if you could powder coat them, it might help.

I have changed over to all no-bs dog proofs , has a durable coating and comes with a wolf fang chain stake and at only $97.00 a dozen I just don't see how you can beat them.

That is a good price Huntall. I might have to check that out myself.

After the season, boil mine to clean out bait, dye n wax them just to keep rust down.

I just spray painted a bunch yesterday. I like to give them a quick cleaning up and a coating of paint before putting them away.

I make sure to catch a raccoon in each one before the end of the season and let them clean them up for me...
The DPs which don't catch a raccoon by the end of the season either get sold for insubordination or go into to boiling cauldron of dye, then the wax pot.

If I want white, I put on white duct tape or spray paint. Coon clean everything off regardless. End of season, all DPs go into buckets of hot water and dawn for 30 minutes, then I scrape and flush old bait out and rinse. During the summer I go over all DPs and put a piece of stiff fiberfill under the trigger and decide how many white ones to paint or tape. Or just set as is

Instead of taping any white, I just put a golf ball on top.

do not wax them unless you like catching mice , they fire that easy after a waxing.

I waxes my first batch, not knowing and they have caught several mice
