Trap-Dye

[socks 32,253]

I speed dip all my traps 5 litres of petrol to 1 liter of speed dip goes a long way .....

I have used new duffus traps with the oil still on them and caught straight away , I find the best way to weather a trap is ....... use it !

Done the same with moles,,and fen 6 trapping squirrels,,,but both species are easily trapped,,,,

 

Ive always wondered though,,,these speed dips,,surly they have some kind of smell,,even if us humans can't smell it,,,so it begs the question,,,would the trap be better left with a bit of oil on it...

 

Look at socks pics,,,,mixed with petrol,,,why not just leave it,,,

It's a bit like my Granny's gate. Lol My Granny has the same gate for about 40 years now. She paints it every year, and it still works. Would the gate be still there if it was never painted? Lol

 

Also, I'm told that rust has a smell too.

 

For me, it's just common sence. Most things now a days, have a protective coating on them. Cars for example. I don't think the soal purpose of the paint job, is to make them look nice.

It prevents rusting and helps in keeping the trap firing smoothly the petrol smell evaporates when they are hung in the fresh air for a few days ......

Just like a Gypsy's hands.

Any good for the putanges? Mine are rusting a bit which does hamper firing. I thought it may reduce the need for frequent wire brushing?

Hi,...I have it on good authority,..that a protective coating such as Dakota,..will work just fine on the Putanges

Dakota line dip is a really good water based dip. A lot of snares men and lad trappers love it over here

Cheers Phil I've found the rust affects the triggers a lot.

Is there a follow up to the Sep 01 2010 08:07 AM thread to say how this dye has faired over time?
