  • Hay, can I use pure paraffin for this, because I cannot buy trapping wax in this stupid country. Thanks

  • If it were me and that was all I could get I would use it. Just make sure it has a thin coat not a thick one.

  • I normally use it to put it on oak for protection, it is better for the wood when it dries. It is pure paraffin and when I make it warm enough than I can make a thin coat. Thanks for advise, I try to get beewax, but it is realy expensive here.

  • Leaving the trap in the wax long enough to become the same temperature as the wax will give it a thin coat. Otherwise if the trap is colder than the wax when removed you will end up with a thick brittle coat which will easily chip off. No need to go the expensive route when the paraffin will do if done properly.

  • I used to use the red berry like buds from the sumac bush plant, and put that into your boiling water. The boiling water removes all traces of previous kill and handling scents and the red buds from the sumac bush puts a nice flat black oxidation or film on the metal of your traps.

  • There are many natural products that can be used to dye traps. Walnut was what happened to be readily available to me. Thanks for pointing that out :^]
