I decided about 5 years ago I’m done with painting traps. When I get old and want to tinker around in the garage, then I’ll probably dip and paint some traps here and there. But for now I have no problem catching animals in dirty rusting traps.

Why would u dip them white ? I think it looks cool….lol Noticed the black ones through the snow last season. Could see a perfect outline of a B # 9 the one time. Was stupid crazy weather though. The rust can transfer to the fur and permanently stain the fur, especially with body grips. Be careful !!!w For sure! Had some new 330s I wanted to use a season before treating. The golf course job last fall was brutal, lots of iron in that water. But JP doesn’t water trap, ocopogo and other nasty creatures in there…right JP?…..lol

I like to take better care of my equipment than that.

I only wax land footholds (learned from Bob W) no dye or stain or paint or dip
I spray paint all body grippers, sued to speed dip with white kerosene but its messy and you need perfect conditions, a HOT and low humidity day with a good breeze to do it right

You get better coverage dipping them.
Spray paint them and hang em outside. First couple wet mornings you’ll know the spots you missed!

Maybe if the rust is powdery. The rust on my traps are like another color painted onto the traps though.

Yup exactly! There’s pike in the water too!

I like to paint dip. Oil based Rust-Oleum thinner out with acetone. Gives it a good base for camo jobs on coins. Thinner coat it a bit better first go then hit it again The ones I've done were done like this. Try using Mineral Spirits instead of acetone, it cheaper in the long run as it doesn't evaporate anywhere as quick as acetone. You can do a lot more traps with mineral spirits. Might take a little longer to dry but I dip and hang them up and in the heat of the summer here they dry pretty quick. Here's a tip if you have left over dip. Clean the top and lid of the paint can good and put the left over dip in it and seal it back up really good. Invert the can and make sure it doesn't leak and store it this way. Next time you open the can to use the "skin" or scum/dried paint is on the bottom of the can and the top is good to go.

Dipping/paining is all going to depend on water ph.
F 1 does not work in NW WA,,,,I believe the acidic and Brackish water.
