Preseason trap PREP tips (post them here)

[lonniephillips]

if you plan on trying the speed dip this year or you have been using it than it's that time of year to dip those traps and hang them out to dry
this is the BEST time of the year to get them to dry


TIP: I like to mix my speed dip a little thinner than what the directions on the can say, it goes on better and dries better

TIP: Use Lateran fuel in place of gasoline and it will dry better

TIP: Dip your traps more than once (after they have dried a few days) for a better all around coating

TIP: NEVER USED SPEED DIP AROUND ANY OPEN FLAMES OR FIRE

TIP: Be sure your traps are good and cleaned , clean the springs from all mud and debris. Any stuff still on the traps will come off and mix with the dip and get on all the other traps you dip

TIP: a light coat of rust will help the dip adhere to the traps
