The vinegar did a great job on the rusty traps. It sure beats messing around with sulfuric acid - what I used to do mine. I plan on treating more conibears this spring. I'll use vinny instead of the acid bath.
Im cheap and simple. I literally just hit mine with rustoleum spray paint. I might wire brush them to knock off the big chunks of surface rust each season, and then hit them with another coat of paint. It does enough to keep them from completely rusting and its cheap and fast to do. Besides, its a steel trap that sits outside in the dirt, it don't have to look pretty or be in the best condition.
Thank you greatly appreciated.
Traps look great. Where can I buy that dip?
Any trapping supply store has it. It’s called Andy stoes speed dip
@@WhisperingWild thank you!
hey man question, do you trap in NJ if so what tips or trap recommendations can you share with me I'm a new trapper going to get my trapping education course this year on October. I read the NJF&WL website and they coil and longspring traps are not allowed.
Hey Bryan, Yes I trap in NJ. Foot hold traps like long spring and coil spring are illegal to have in NJ and cannot be used. The only traps that are allowed are snares, dog proof style straps, and conibears. All conibears must be set under water. Sizes of traps also vary depending on what your targeting. Snares have some restrictions as well.
@@WhisperingWild Thanks for the reply I have been watching trapping videos and reading up on New Jersey’s website all morning and that is what I have come to the conclusion Conniebear traps would be used for beaver which is truly what I want and the dog proof can be used for coyote fox raccoon and possum which is what I would be interested in right?
Mine are so the triggers won't move an jaws are frozen up u think this would work for them
It could help
Gotei qeria copra um para pega rato
Are the traps sticky and do they have the gas smell
Once dry they are not sticky. Gas smell goes away
Why doesn't a company make them out of stainless steel where yopu wouldn't have to do this? Yea they would cost more but less of a hassle
I spray paint my conibears
Honest question, Why dye over the rust? Spent all that time and effort to remove rust, then you let them rust again?
Great question! My goal was to remove heavy rust from the traps, then allowing them to rust again but only to the point that is a thin layer of rust, it allows the traps to then absorb the dye.
@@WhisperingWild awesome. I watched like half a dozen videos about this now and not a one said why. Thank you. I have several conibear, and and foot hood traps I need to recondition. This has been helpful
@@Nismodriven no problem! Yes the main reason to dye the traps is to preserve the metal along with making the trap operate smoothly. A rusty trap is like a bearing without grease. Once properly dyed it is slick and fast.
@@WhisperingWild What are the main ingredients in this Speed Dip Trap dye? Isn't available in my country, shipping cost too high so I have to restore and dye my rusted conibears with something chemically similar. Can't find it in the web.
@@TheStonedstone I’m not exactly sure I’ll have to get back to you later on that!
Good content, but you really need to be more succinct. Your 14 minutes of content really could have been trimmed to about 5 minutes. If you check your analytics, you'll probably find a fair amount of people skipping parts or leaving due to the length. I remember doing this with my dad as a kid. Except he had new traps and every day before and after school, and before bed, we hosed them down with water to accelerate the rusting process so they could be dyed.
