Different strokes... Having used both, I'd rather dye and wax.

It would take a special bread of man to wax a 330. One that like pain!

I couldn't imagine a belisle 330 that was waxed, they freak me out enough as it is that I always carry cutters on my person in a chest pocket in case I set one off on my hand. I also ALWAYS keep my thumbs up and out of the way while I set them.

I know I've caught both thumbs in a 110 before.

I don't think you'd have a problem getting anything below the wrist caught in a 330, it will just take it off.

I had the luxury couple times in a 330. A lesser man would just die!

If you have brand new traps in the factory grease, there is no need to dye them before waxing. I boil off the grease and then wax them. After the first season, if you are catching fur and using antifreeze, they will be plenty rusty. I then power wash, boil clean, boil dye, then wax. The purpose of dying is to neutralize rust and odors picked up. If a trap is clean, it makes no sense to dirty it just so you can neutralize the dirt.

The easiest way I have found to get the oil off of new traps is to run them through the dishwasher. Easy peasy. Just have to make sure the chains aren't hanging down and turn the heated dry cycle off.

I always used to dye my traps in a galvanized steel tub out in the yard. Set up three cement blocks to rest the tub on, build a fire in the middle. Fill the tub with water and black walnuts and cook the traps. Worked for me.
