Well I guess I goofed a little and never got to making any waxed dirt. I have a few bottles of flake type antifreeze from F&T that I bought with a bunch of used traps and I was curious if this would satisfy my needs?
Or I could order some waxed dirt which is expensive and I’d have to wait for it to ship or remake all my sets when I got it.
I put in a few sets last night with the antifreeze. Should it be sprinkled over a finished set? Mixed into the dirt while sifting?
Calling for a few inches of snow followed by rain the next few days.

Add it layers as you bed the trap. Then a layer on top, but if it rains enough to soak the ground you'll need to do it again.

Flake is very corrosive. I used it one year and I believe it even ate the wax off the traps. I won't use it again. Good luck to you.

I won't use it. It's too hard on the metal.

Maybe try propylene glycol, mixed 50% with h20.

After the rain you might consider trying peat moss.

Ok thanks for the help.
I guess I will order some wax or peat.

Reusaat sells waxed sand. Don't rule that out.

If your traps are properly waxed it works great. I would hate to see the amount needed to eat wax away from trap. Only issue is with a remake, at this point most wax will be worn off from the catch.
