Forgot how I hate cleaning up traps to get ready to re-dip and get going. However, I did try something new and it took me about half the time. Anybody else ever media blasted traps to clean them up? I’ll continue to do it this way as long as I have access to a blaster. Traps are back to clean metal, I’ll let them sit a bit and re-dip.

Just thought I’d share. Didn’t figure most would do it that way.

I haven’t. I sprayed mine off with a pressure washer. What will you dip your traps in to finish getting them ready?

True,

Don't find many of us have media blasters just sitting out in the shop.

Trap preparation does take a long time though.

Too bad all traps aren't as easy as dogless coon traps.

I'm just old fashioned and enjoy building a big fire around a drum full of traps. Lol! Would definitely be a good way to clean up DP traps before painting them.

I cleaned some in my wife’s dishwasher one time. Big mistake. Permanently stained dishwasher liner dark rust brown. Do traps need to be dipped each year? I’ve always just washed good at end of season and reuse next. Probably don’t keep mine buried as much as a serious trapper does. I just catch a few of the dumb coons
