Full metal jacket question #6882191 05/25/20 07:59 PM 05/25/20 07:59 PM

I’ve painted the traps, and was wondering if I should let them air out before I dip them in fmj? I’m afraid that If I don’t, the paint smell will never air out. Thoughts? Thanks!

I save the left overs in my basement. Bought a gallon 3 years ago and only clean up what needs cleaning. Good stuff. Odorless according to the coon and canines I trap. Never too old to learn
