If your wanting to get some rust on them, hang them out anytime.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Once that crap dries, it's water/rust proof, if not, it can wash off.

I use latern fuel, maybe that trick to it, find a day when got time an hot , breezy lower humidity, usally hot days are humid. To much rain in forecast, hopefully next weekend, memorial day weekend , is speed dip the best rust preservative? Once it on traps. Pretty much stuck with it, I wouldn't use on k- 9 trapping, some say work, others don't, for best success, I not recommend on them, I use on water traps, land connibears, some stakes that rusty, u can see rust show though the dip in rusted trap, I have no traps that are weaken by rust or more surface.

So dipping on any days with some humidity an under 80s for temp is not good ? I usally hang outside for 3 days, bring in cellar an at times with humidity in summer, trap a lil sticky, until fall, when cooler. Weather comes So you been on this web site since 2008.......and still have a speed dip question ? Or am I missing something ? Just dip and hang...you cant do anything about the weather.....and trapping season is 6 months away....I think you’ll be ok.

I use it 2 gal of high octane(93) to one can dip. I dip no later than july and hang them out all summer under an awning. In our high humidity it takes some time to totally dry.
