In my opinion, it holds up better than wax. It doesn’t chip like wax does and it did a pretty good job of protecting my traps. After a lot of use and abuse, they did start to rust a little.

Any one know a good way to remove it from traps? Bought some a while back an think that's what they are coated in.

I thought this would be the ticket. , but had every trap i used it on Dug up. Went back to wax and no more problems.i wont use it anymore. The FMJ wasn't your problem.

I would imagine FMJ comes off in ammonia and hot water bath with a little scrubbing action. It sort of smells like the floor wax we used to wax a sales room show floor with every other night. A thousand feet walking on this floor wore some off and we scrubbed the rest off with an ammonia based floor cleaning solution and power scrubber.

Soak them in clean water for 72 hours the coating becomes white and tacky .Pressure wash the crap out of them, after doing so mine usually start rusting over nite. The directions say not to use it on water traps lol kind of a dead give away. On new traps I dip mine up to 4 times but I dry mine for a week usually. Love it no issues yet even after a 24hr dipped trap. I love that once its dries it cant be contaminated by other foreign scents. Unless they get wet for a prolonged period on hot sunny day you can go thru a mountain of traps using fmj! But im a rustoleum fan myself. Didn't aim for that to sound smart arsed!

It doesn't chip like regular wax?? If you get your wax hot enough and leave the trap In the hot wax till It becomes the same temp as the wax you will en dup with a perfect wax job. A lot better then that FMJ stuff.
