Title: trap prep
Post by: sweatybetty on June 08, 2008, 12:24:09 AM
i have a bunch of new legholds that i have cleaned and am trying to get a little rusted so i can dye and wax them. problem im having is they wont rust! :argh: i have them hanging and spray them down with water a few times a day.
im thinking of mixing a few pounds of salt in a few gallons of water and soaking the traps for a few days to speed up the process. what do you guys think? :wo:

yep you can spray them with vinegar too. its early yet (unless your doing bounty work) they will rust and once they start it will go fast.
