What is in it exactly ? Undercoating ? Did over 75 traps in it yesterday plus stakes an stands, be plates , about 5 or 6 to 1 part latern fuel, warmer an sunny today an let hang 2 more days in sun an shade partially , top temputure is in low 70 s, yesterday was mid 60 s, still tacky before , sone rust spots show thru on footholds, heavy surface rust a few spots on footholds , what dip do on existing rust or how far pentrate ? On rust is speed dip the best ?

Lots of people tell me they have luck with it. Most of the time I get a trap that seems a little tacky after a week of drying. I have used black and brown. Went back to dye and wax. Gonna paint some this year also.

Is it just me or does anyone else see the irony? Speed Dip!! Dip your traps and then hang them out to dry!! For a MONTH OR TWO. JSMH.

I have used Andy Stowe's dip since it came out and have never had a problem. I used lantern fuel nearly every year, premium gas a few times. I aways dipped traps in July, on a really hot day. I would hang traps to dry, and didn't touch em for a week or so. Never had any that were not dry. This was in Western Oregon, commonly called the wet side of the state. We usually have much higher humidity than the dry desert side of the state, but not enough to affect drying. Which makes me wonder if the humidity in the midwest and east coast affects the drying? Every summer there are numerous posts about dip, and all the problems. Baffles me.

It seems to go both ways. I know some very successful trappers that love it, and others that hate it. My first time using it, I followed the instructions, and it was a horrible, sticky mess. Now, I mix it thin and it seems to work well for me.
