Keep factory grease?etc. -- It seems all of Greece knows what is the right thing to do, but it is only the Spartans that do anything about it. --

The grease should prevent the traps from getting 'rusty' over time, which they will do over time if the grease is removed. The down side of leaving the grease on is that it makes a mess when you handle the traps. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.
