red mt trapper R Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 5,081 montana	Originally Posted By: Golf ball I’ve used Zaggers bedding method with and without the screen wire and had mixed results. I like the idea that it may increase the kill area but I’ve had issues with the screen blowing off. Other times I have feared the screen was laying on the pan vibrating or wobbling in the wind as I have seen this happen while getting the clippings in place. I’m not ruling out screen but still prefer the landscape fabric and waxed dirt. If I ever find a way to make the screen lay still on the pan of my 650’s I may give it another go. Thinking of waxing the screen ! Just cut a flap for the jaw hold downs on each side fold the flap insert from top. Kenneth schoening

Thinking of waxing the screen ! Maybe use the wax to "Weld" the cover to the pan? or get rid of those 650s

Sorry I’m not sure I’m following what your saying. Big Bob that is kind of what I was thinking, maybe use a little butane torch to stick it to the pan. But now it’s getting too time consuming. I’ve seen guys use the rubber band method but I’ve never seen a rubber band that didn’t have a smell to it . May just be best to use dirt to help hold things together out here on the prairie!

With that big pan on 650s I just use polly under the pan. Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..
