Andy stoe Speed dip Help ?

[andytrapper]

I used this this stuff for the first time last year, I was not vary happy with it, i never got a good cote of dye on the traps and they were always sticky after a 7 days. I did used Coleman fuel. Is their any good tips on how to used this stuff, i know a few people who use it on their traps  , and their dye job looks great and last awhile, i get maybe a week of use and it starts rusting and i caught very few animals last year  ( it was first year) so the dye was not getting  rub off. ?

Thanks

 Practice makes perfect.Dipping is like anything else--the more you do--the better you get.
 You saw many of the traps we use--all were dipped and had many catches.
 On new traps--all the greases and oils must be removed.You must also check to make sure your dip is not to thick.I do one or two to make sure they dry quickly and my mixture is the way I want it.You can dip them a second time ,after the first coat is dry, but then you must scrape dogs and pan notches.
 I single dip,and if the dip gets worn off---I am making significant catches

  Traps hold dye best if they are etched by a light coating of rust.  You will find that traps you used last year will take and hold dye much better this season.  As Tom pointed out all of  trapping is a learning process including trap preparation.   Make sure your dip is thinned and stirred properly.  This year get them traps dipped early and get them in the sun to dry !!

 Better plan on riding along with me once this fall.  I hate to see Tom and Mike  teaching  you nothing but Bad habits !

I would love to go with you 2poor this fall. I really like to watch  how every trapper, Trap's

 Marten- Fisher- Fox or the ever elusive Weasel you decide what trip you are most interested in.  We will let Tom make a Beaver trapper out of you as I hate wet feet and Mike ------  well he can teach you how to get rich trapping moles !

 Buy yourself a good flea collar,as all are flea busses--some just worse than others.Coyotes would have to rank as some of the worst.
 Give me a nice sweet smelling water rodent ,even the otter and mink are better than those land roamers.

LoL Tom your right...only thing about water trapping is its a ton of work or at least the way I went at it, land trapping seems easy compared, back in the truck drive more get out on solid land(dont even miss sinking in past my knees) check a cple of sets, back in the truck...
