Anyone here use it and if so would you say you ended up with a white trap. I’m not looking for a slightly white or pale white trap but rather one that is white enough to not draw sunlight and melt snow.

Send NEWT a PM . He is the seller and producer.

Lol...Newt never checks his PMs. I sent him one a week ago. He still hasn’t read it. I will start a post to get his attention. Mine wasn’t really that important so I wasn’t worried about it. Those old guys haven’t gotten used to looking for that flashing envelope at the top yet.

I only used the brown dip when I tried to dip mine, but from what I can tell, F1 is just floor wax. I wax floors for a living, and unless the wax is really thick, it should dry clear. I would spray paint them white and then dip them if you want white traps.

The white dip I got from Andy Stoe years ago was EXCELLENT STUFF! In fact, I re-dipped over it due to a bit of rust and the white dip could still be seen years later.

Thanks guys ! Just found a gallon of white equipment paint that I didn’t know I had. I have a new dozen MB 650’s that I’m going to reserve for snow .

I was in Maine

Maybe you're thinking of FMJ? Full Metal Jacket?

Formula 1 is mixed with water, I don't think you can mix wax and water.

Formula 1 goes on in thin translucent coats that cover a little more with each coat. I have never used the white but if it covers like the brown then I don't think you'll get snow white traps, but rather a lighter white camo look to whatever color the traps were prior to dipping.

These are new traps with 4 light coats of brown Formula 1...



Quick one thin dip on snares...



After...


All done....


Closer up....

I have used them both, Jayme, I just didn’t remember which was which. I’m pretty sure the F1 was the first one I used now that you mention it because I remember mixing it with water, but it has been about 5 or 6 years ago.

The FMJ IS the one I remember thinking that it was re-packaged floor wax now that you mention it. Everything was the same about it even down to the fact that it turned white when the trap got wet for extended periods (seems like it rains for our whole fur season here). I did like the F1 better because it seemed more durable, but I have since went back to waxing. I have considered going back to dipping my water traps, but haven’t taken the plunge yet. When the paint wears off of them though I think they are going to get dipped.

I’ve painted before but not dipped in paint. The only thing wrong with the paint is the way they look when the paint starts to come off, and it will start coming off.

Thanks Guys !

That is why I’m not going to paint mine anymore, golfball. I really liked the way they looked at first, but now that paint is building up in places and wearing off in others, I do not like the way they look anymore and I am tired of painting them. Dipping was faster.
