Alright so this year I didn't like how after boiling and dying my traps the ones I had fmj on last year had a milky color from the fmj still on them. Is there a way to quickly get the fmj off or soaking it in something that I can get 5 gallons of relatively cheap? Would like to do all 4 or so dozen traps at once.

Your not supposed to boil fmj...it's one of the ways of removing it.

Must be that green haze that is on some MJs I bought last year I just boil and wax over it as It won't come off! LOL


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Takes a stronger acid or lye to fully get rid of it, might still need to pressure wash immediately afterwards or maybe a cement mixer.

Could try floor stripper perhaps.

The stuff was intended I think for you to just pressure wash at the end of the season and be done with it.

Floor stripper and pressure wash works.

There was a thread on here last year about this and one way was to soak overnight in the purple cleaner you get at wal mart . I did that this year full strength and let set for 24 hours and hit with water ,seemed to work for me . That stuff is in the auto dept,
