MJM trapper M Joined: Dec 2006 ND	I have used a fair amount of speed dip. I have never had a problem with it not drying. I mix it thin and dip when it is hot and dry. I would say you are better off to wait until the heat of summer. You could wire the traps together so when it is time to dip they are ready to go. If you get a 55 gallon poly drum and cut it in half and get a foot plus of mixed speed dip in it, you can do a lot of traps pretty fast. I dip 12- 220's 0r 160's in a bunch.
