Do you prefer primer or paint when you dip yours? Also do you paint your footholds or just body grips?

I use a minimum of 50% acetone. 60%, even. Footholds and coni's. As long as they are de-greased thoroughly, and NO WAX, the treatment is extremely durable. I get 2-3 seasons out of a treatment. And I trap in a pretty challenging environment. Just doing what I want now.

warrior trapper Joined: Jan 2007 Georgia	Anyone stabilize/fix the rust with an acid etch? Something like phospho or kleanstrip metal prep? Seems to me that would both stop rust by converting it on old traps and prep new ones for a better hold on the paint. I'm planning on giving it a try the next time I get up the energy to do a big batch of traps. Maybe something like this. Lye soak if new and greasy or pressure wash if old and dirty. Good rinse. Dip in kleanstrip etch. Neutralize in soda dip. Overnight dry before acetone/rustoleum dip. Top with floor wax.

Give her a bath till it's down to bare metal toss in a buck of baking soda water , wash off real good and let dry YouTube expert
