Anyone use Full Metal Jacket Dip ?

Just wondering what you guys thought of this stuff ….I was just told about it . Let’s hear the comments !

I like it. Cuts down the maintenance of my traps. Some think it helps their canine catch, some say that it hurts. I'd advise anyone thinking about using it for canines run some some traps FMJ'd and some your normal method.

Do have to let it cure before putting the traps in a container.

I’ve used with great success. Keeps traps protected and is fast and easy to use. You can buy it at local hardware store just branded under a different label. It’s polymer acrylic, usually labeled as a concrete sealer. I get mine for about half price as brand name Full Metal Jacket and saves on the shipping too.

When it is time to retreat traps, is it easy to remove the coating?

No need to take it off. Powerwash the traps then dip again as needed.

What if you want to remove the the coating permanently? Back down to clean steel?

It’s a trap.....not a frame off GTO restoration..!! ....Who in their right mind needs to get a trap back to bare steel.....

Battleborn or Lye. Or boil the traps then either pressure washer or cement mixer.

Ok, so this coating is pretty much permanent. not like speed dip.

Semi permanent. Takes a lot of abuse to damage it.

I did not like it at all. Suspected there was a bit of smell or something was not quite right with it. Ran it for a few seasons before switching to the ole classic dye and wax. Removing it is a pain in the butt, you have to buy that purple degreaser from Walmart and soak the traps then pressure wash off.

MY FIRST YEAR WITH IT.....WORKING WELL SO FAR

There’s things I like and dislike about it, but all in all it held up well and I still caught coyotes and fox with it.

Used it on my traps for the first time this year. Haven't trapped with them at all but I like the way it goes on it's super easy!

We use it on our gopher traps.

Nope.

I've used it,I've got nothing bad to say about it.It worked,I think my problem is I dyed and wax the old way for so long I'm not comfortable doing it any other way.I'd rather use FMJ anyday over the speed dips that mix with fuel.I tried them once,what a absolute mess.

It's not bad, it will catch critters just fine. Only issue I had was rusting under the coat(s).
