Trap clean and wax prep - 12/04/19 07:31 PM
I'm back at it. I wanna trap Bob cat next week so I bought some new wax cause I havent trapped predators in years and it had to be contaminated. Anyhow I'm on my second attempt at boiling traps trying to get last attempts wax off them. So far they have boiled for a few hours but there appears to be a slight wax residue left over on them. Old timers told me to use lye or sanitizer flush. But I poor this water on my lawn when I'm done boiling. I think drain cleaner isnt a good idea. What's my options. I dont wanna contaminate 30 bucks worth of wax in the first dip. I know cats dont require wax but I'm also trying for a yote or fox while I've got to check traps.
