Good idea ADC
I remember the f1 getting built up in the hole on the locks, does thining it eliminate this problem?

I never had a problem with it Purity. I do open snares completely before dipping a dozen at a time so if its in there it it's rubbed out when I close them to the size I'll be setting.

On the Formula 1, I always take the snare once it is dry and run the lock back and forth, back and forth, back and...(Ok, you get my drift)! \:\)
I always do this the day, or the day after, I coat them. Formula 1 has a way of "gumming up" inside a lock, much like rust does. If you don't do this, you'll be out on the line one day and go to set a snare, only to find it won't close as properly or as quickly as you would like it to.
I for one, have no time for faulty equipment! You can, as ADC suggest, add more water to thin the mixture, however it will take more coatings to complete the job. To each his/her own, I guess.
Even after they are done (dry) I still streak them with camo paint of three different shades.
I would put my snares and snaring ability up against anyone in the US or Canada!
Am I trying to sound arrogate? No, not really. I am just stating how important I think having the best equipment is...if you can't say the same thing, then perhaps you should take a good look around and ask yourself "Why can't I"?! ;\)

I boil my snares in baking soda. It's been my experience using f-1 it just slows the snare down. I never tried painting them. I,m sure going to try it.

Wouldn't matter. It would be a pleasure to trap or snare along side the best! ;\)

...but listen, whoever it is, make sure he has a strong heart. I don't want him worrying the whole time we're snaring, thinking that if he dies out there that I might just drag him over in the weeds and set snares around him and mosey on back to his place and end up eatin' up all his supper too. \:D Hahahaha

That might be too much for one man to handle.

Purity, You MUST un-coil the snares ,dip, then hang them by the closed loop,on a line (like a cloths line)This gives you a smooth finish.

Wax them? What is your reason for that? Don't say faster because if that's the case you just need a better lock or snare.

I gave mine one dip in speed dip a few weeks ago, gave them a a brownish-yellow that should blend nicely with the weeds in the fall.

I just personally have never had to treat em....I try to buy mostg of my snares in the spring....run em through the "dirt bath" hand and ready to go....

Of course I am snaring net wire fences with slides going under and not trail snaring so that may be different if I was setting snares in trails and not fence slides...

Probably a little change in technique countrywide...


LETS GET IT ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope. Used to but can't see the difference in catches.


Fresh circle in the morning, nothing better.
