Anybody ever had a trap that just wouldn’t dye? I have a very dry rusted, no oil, no other factors, Duke 220. I boiled it in a heavy baking soda bath for a good while. Pulled rinsed and dried while refilling pot. I use walnuts with great success. Went through my process, pulled the trap and spotless rusty. If that’s a thing. My others, took the dye fine. I’m at a loss. Not a fan of soap and haven’t tried it. Any suggestions?

Paint it and be done with it, lol.


Proudly banned from the NTA.

Bother me tomorrow. Today I'll buy no sorrows.

Get you some logwood dye be done with it. Stuff is cheap. Easier than picking up or hulling walnuts
