How long after painting traps with Rustoleum and acetone do you guys wait to dip them in Zep floor wax?
It's been 1 week since I painted them.

Your good to go if it’s been a week dip away!

Just so you know, I do a lot of floor stripping and waxing.
I tried zep wax, a couple weeks later the church asked me to redo it, it looked terrible.
I had to redo the 1100$ floor.
It's the only time I had to in 35 years of doing floors.
My opinion is it is a very poor quality wax.
Also when floor wax is exposed to the outdoor climate, it deteriorates

For those that do dip in Zep, do you have a recommendation which floor wax to use on traps?

That’s interesting. My son got some brand new MB550’s last year and we washed them and gave them a double coat of Zeps. One year later they’re still rust free for the most part except where critters have chewed a little. I told him when they get bad, we’ll do the vinegar treatment and start over. Generally about every 2nd year or so. I’ve got some that are going on year 3.

Is zep floor wax used mostly for dirt trapping for canines ? Orderless ? How work out with water traps ? I myself never like wax traps in water m seem like hard keep set . Keep fire off . Never try floor wax, how work over speed dip ?

This is my 3rd year dipping my traps in Zep floor wax and am please with the results so far. No known refusals and usually get 2-3 years before I need to re dip. I also like the fact that I don't have to deal with hot wax. If your concerned about odor then store your traps in a tote with grass clippings or something that the wax will soak up the odor from.

20scout thanks for the info. I’m going to try and get them dipped soon then let them hang outside until season starts

Is this a good price for Zep?

Why wax over the paint?

No real reason to wax over the paint, at least not the first yesr.
