Okay, Okay!!!! So! What kind of video are you going to make to come to my place???? One of you loading the Pepto and toilet paper. Or you in the grocery store purchase yankee servial food for my house?????? Oh, and don't worry, we don't need no cooker down here. When we cook crawfish, we will have every cooker in the hood going.

with you leaving those traps in that wax till the trap heats up and leaves a thinner coat of wax on the trap. is the wax less likely to flake off trap when the trap fires???

YES. it adheres better. the more wax thats on the trap, the flakier it will be.

now in the past I boil some walnuts up to turn the brew black and use that to dye my traps does that work as good as the log wood dye or is using the log wood better?

Sorry if I'm asking to many questions I'm just trying to learn. Never really had anyone to teach me the ins and outs of trapping.

Thank you all
Derek S
