What methods do you use to clean new traps and prepare them for the field?

Run new traps through the dishwasher. Does a great job of removing the factory oil. Then once they take on a light coat of rust you can dip or dye.

Basically, just a coating to color and protect your traps. If you don't have a ton of traps the easiest thing to do is to just spray paint them.
