Taking off old wax and dye - 08/11/21 10:30 PM
Sorry to probably ask a dumb question but I’m struggling to remove last years wax and dye from my coyote traps. I caught quite a few last year and when I pulled my line I threw all the traps together instead of separating traps with catches and ones that didn’t. I want to start over dyeing and wax all them to make sure of no contamination. I boiled a small batch for probably 30 min and some of the wax came off but it seems there is some wax still on them. I am not sure if I didn’t boil them long enough or if there is just a better way. I cooled the water and overflowed the wax on top. I sure would appreciate some advice so I’m confident in what I’m doing. Thanks
