Can anyone tell me where to get a container that will be a good fit for 330 conibears to dip them? I will use cold dip, so the container does not have to withstand boiling. I know there are barrels and all kinds of nylon storage boxes etc, but I want something that will be a good fit so I don't have to use 50 gallons more than I really need to cover them.

Wide tupperware type tub at wal mart, etc. will work. Just be sure not to STORE in it as it will eat the plastic up, lol.

I have a 15 gallon barrel that chain came in, my buddy builds utility trailers so they order chain by the barrel. It's wide enough a 330 will fit in plus has a lid with band around it to seal up the dip for storage after use.

Might check around some fabricating plants, etc. and see if they have any, he just throw's them away when the chain run's out so anyone that comes by wanting one he just gives them away to get rid of them.

I bought a cheap cat litter box at Wal-Mart. 2 gallons of dip (I use cut back Rust Oleum) will cover a 330. I leave it for a few seconds, hang it to dry. I dip each trap twice.

The litter bos was a lot cheaper than anything made by Rubbermaid or Tupperware....

I use the same thing (litter box), but found mine at Big Lots for like two dollars.

5 gallon buckets I've seen are too small for 330's.

I agree with the litter box. For dipping 330's it's the cat's meow.
