Formula 1

Has anybody used this for dipping footholds? Does it do a good job of coating the trap and keeping rust out? Any problems with scent after it dries? I’m looking for a change up this year. Thanks

I have. It worked very well for me. Nice hard slick scent free finish in the time it takes for it to dry. Dip them in the morning, set them in the afternoon.

Yes
Yes
No

If its good enough for Slim Pedersen and Newt Sterling, it's good enough for me!

I really like the stuff, just waiting for it to become a Monthly Special at F&T

I reeaallly liked the tan color for 220 conibears in coon trails, but they quit making it. Go figger.

I like the brown F1.

I think the F1 I got had froze. It came out of Mn and could have froze in shipping getting there. I picked it up in the early fall, so I know it didn't freeze then. It reminded me of enamel paint that had been froze. It was a lot like trying to mix cottage cheese. One gallon of that was enough for me. I would not buy any from a state where it could freeze for half the year.

I used some and It wasn't long before there was rust forming under the coating.

Thanks. I noticed that full metal jacket turned a little gummy and took on a white color after the ground turned to mud. Anyone seen anything like this with formula 1? Also, does it color the traps and seal or just give them a clear coat? Thanks

I thought this was going to be about racing...

Dakota Line makes a trap dip too.

I had rust bleed thru with Formula One. Waxed over it and solved the problem. BUT Formula One was supposed to eliminate waxing so it defeated the purpose.

Full Metal Jacket instructions say it will turn milky white when exposed to water. It’s a bummer if you water trap. But if your sets are buried anyway, white, black or even pink shouldn’t make a difference.

White dryed clear with milky finish, I expected WHITE

No I DID NOT STOP MAKING IT I have it in stock. So does Sterling Fur

Black
Brown
Green
Tan
White

FORMULA ONE drys HARD in 24 hours.
Once hard .Water does not melt it

I would say. you need to put on three or more coats.
Or you mixed it too thin.

Some Formula 1 caught fur. A little rust under the dip doesn't hurt a thing. Takes a few coats the first time and then one coat each season after cleaning with pressure washer.

In my opinion, F1 is far superior compared to any other cold dip on the market. The old Aaron's dip was awesome but it is not available anymore.

I love the stuff.

I really like it too-great for body grips!

I wasn’t a huge fan.

Took forever to dry. Was gummy like latex paint for days.

Had to dip multiple times to achieve a good coat, which didn’t make it any faster than anything else.

Had a DEFINITE odor for days while it dried (smelled like latex paint).

And didn’t last longer than anything else out there.

For water traps I’d rather use speed dip.

Okay, I have to ask. I have a full can but the directions are all faded away. And have never used it before. How much water for a full can? Thanks!!!

1-2 water

I'm not going to comment on F1 but I dip In latex paint and It's stone dry In about 4 hours.
If your having those problems with latex pant your doing something wrong.

I agree. FORMULA ONE drys to the touch in about 1 hour.

I have dipped thousands of snares.Then shipped them. After about 1 hour of drying time.
When its humid .I dont dip.
