What’s the acetone to rustoleum mixture. And also what kind of rustoleun do you use.

Trapping is what built North America, why take that away?

How much to do 2 dozen traps? Will 2qt of paint and 2qt of acetone do it?

I have found that many places that mix paint make mistakes occasionally.
I check to see if they have any mismixed rustoleom or similar oil based products and I can usually buy them for 10 bucks a gallon. Saves me a lot of money that way.

I did all my water traps like this during the summer and it was good and cured by season. It held up real well. You need to keep stirring it because it tries to separate and settle in the bottom. When it's hot out you might need to add acetone because it evaporates fast.

That’s why I thin 60-40 Acetone - rusto

As mentioned, mismixed paints at our Lowes is $7/gal.
