Dying Traps with 'Speed Dip': Preparing for Trapping Season

[@nathanielhubbard9863]

Amazing thankyou for your work and videos I’m from Massachusetts and am in love with your content

Thanks for making this! I’m gonna follow this process for my Duke 1.5’s - prior to dipping, should I open/set those 1.5’s so that the jaws get dye on them where they close shut?

Just got some speed dip. Do you also wax your traps after this process?

[@danielmastin3606]

No, not necessary after speed dip

[@ghmtchl]

Have done this with a half a dozen traps this year and they have all remained really tacky and sticky even after a lengthy drying period. I’ve left them in milk crates outside hoping they’ll dry up a bit to not make a mess when setting. This normal? Keep up the great content folks!

Usually happens when dipped in humid weather, my traps stayed really tacky for 6 months, I soaked in gas to strip it off . I spray paint my traps now , only speed dip I ever had good results with was Blackies.

We've had some come out tacky before but I find after a single use in the field that fades.
