Question: Trap Dye

[Catfish]

I haven`t trapped for years, except in self defence, but the way I used to dye trap was to collect a bunch of walnut hulls and boil them in a big pot of water. I would add the wax to the water also. I used 1/2 bees wax and 1/2 parafine. That stuff worked as well as any of the high priced junk they tell you that you have to have. The only time my traps ever got waxed or dyed was when they were new.
