Trap dying.

[tangle tooth]

      Put a full 5 gallon bucket of black walnuts in about 25 gallons of water. I'll let that soak for a few days. Should be ready for traps by Tuesday. Got the firewood ready, too.
      I think I'm going to try either Full Metal Jacket or BulletProof dip. Anybody got an opinion on either of these? Good or bad.
      Thanks.

What are you trapping??? Never heard of soaking black walnuts, but I don't get out much???

Need more???  I only got 2- 50 lb sunflower seed bags 3/4 of black walnuts.

Boiling in black walnuts tints and also removes all human smell......

Black walnut will stain your hands if you handle them without gloves. 

I usually just spray paint my beaver traps with flat black rustolium.

      By beaver traps, are you talking something like a 330 or a foothold? I've seen guys use a 50/50 mix of Rust-Oleum and acetone with nice results.

I use almost exclusively 330 and snares.  Mostly under ice.
