I am really looking forward to learning more Charlie.
My traps have been hanging for nearly three weeks now. No rust.
I believe I was supposed to dye the them first.
Maybe I should spray vinegar on them or something.
I still intend to get some traps out this winter.
Jim take them and soak them in a 50/50 white vinegar and water mix, that will get them rusting in a few days.. Then rinse off and they will be set to dye and wax.
