Tractor Supply did sell a "fence paint" made by the plant that Speed Dip is and having the same SDS sheets.
There is also a roof coating that is nearly the same..

I've often thought speed dip would be a good coating on galvanized,cable stakes.I bought some to try but switched to stainless cable before I did.I tried waxing the galvanized cable stakes but it didn't help much,compared to non-waxed.

hmmmmm this sounds interesting for all those news ones i havent unpacked yet

Wow, I can't believe all the dips on here!

Not one of these dip sellers went out and hired a chemical Engineer to formulate trap dip. It was already on the market and just re named.
Petroleum based Is petroleum based some Is just processed to a different degree.

I store my (dipped) traps in a dry place. Like I mentioned earlier these traps are not being used and they are not rusting. I look at them quite often. When it comes time to use them they will get cleaned and painted. But for now they are in a dry place storage dipped years ago.

I have used it (speed dip) for a LONG time. I like it No Problems.

For me what works all the years I been at this is dye and wax foot holds and dip body grips in a rubber like mix with gas. it works for me. We all have our own way of things and this works for me and for rust for what I do for footholds I want some rust to have the dye to stick and then wax and no problems after.If the trap dose not catch anything.the trap is good till the next time I use it or next season. Same as the dip I use.

I think Newt did higher a chemical engineer to formulate Formula 1. I could be wrong, maybe he or someone else can set the record straight.


Taximan, I've speed dipped my galvanized cable stakes for years. Has worked well for me.

Sounds good,silkyplains.I never heard of anyone using but always thought it would be ideal for that.

[quote=The Beav]Powder coating powder coating powder coating.
Not that cheap paint on crap but the real stuff.

I don't know why this hasn't caught on more, it work pretty well.

I have some MB 550 cast jaw offset and some 550 rubber jaw that I had powder coated. They were done by a place that specialized in powder coating and they really looked nice. The rubber jaw were a pain as I had to take the rubber off and put it back on but other than that, it was a pretty painless process. I put my anchor chain on them and got the entire set up coated.

I have used them 3 or 4 seasons now and they have held up pretty well but rocks and coyote teeth have chipped the coating enough that I now run them through the dye pot to convert the rust spots.
