I also like painting them with a LIGHT dusting of camo paint. If you coil them together and spray each side with different colors of camo, when you un-coil them they blend in so well I can hardly find them. But the spray paint can be expensive when you have 1000 snares to do so I use the F1. I mix the F1 like the can says only thinner, I add 1 - 1 1/2 cans of extra water, uncoil my snares and dip them 1 dozen at a time and drop them on cardboard to dry for an hour or so. They are then done. Just one dip is all you want to keep from impeding the locks performance. I use the brown F1. Time for the Formula 1, before.... After... All done.... Closer up.... I really like that F1 for fast snare prep! Enjoy! ~ADC~

Did It make any difference In my catch rate? Not that I could tell. It's my opinion other then cleaning your cable It's a waste of time and money coating them with anything.
