Did that then dipped today in a very thinned out mixture of formula 1. Lots of spotting of rust on what looks to be on top or at least showing through. Thoughts on what to do?

That makes sure when they are dyed that it holds real good. I only wax my new traps Matthew 7:6 KJV Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine.... -OFBA, NTA, FTA, TTFHA-
