It appears your waxing in pure wax. If not my apologies. I just heat up enough water to cover the traps then melt wax in the water. Put in the traps and let them heat up then slowly pull them out through the wax. Saves money that way and they still get a decent coat of wax. I use black walnuts and the bark for dyeing. Low boil for about an hour and a half. Comes out jet black.
Hey Mike, yes it is pure wax. No reason in particular other than that's the reason I've always done it. Both ways work equally well. I use to use black walnuts. Awesome way to do it and it's kind of old school which is fun!
Perfect timing on finding your channel. I have some #3 brigers coming Monday.
Good video with easy to follow instructions. Much appreciated
Great information 👍. Thank you for sharing
No problem Joe!
What kind of wax do you use?
I use either white or black trap wax, both work just fine. You can find it at IronTrail Trapline Supply.
Can I skip waxing my traps this season???
Can you use dish soap instead of vinegar?
Dawn works okay. Running them through the dishwasher works awesome!
