I've heard you can dye traps in cold logwood without boiling. You only halve to leave them submerged for a day or two. Has anyone else heard this?

I do it all the time but leave em in for a few days rather than over night..This yr I used walnuts , just filled a 5 gallon bucket and let it sit for a week then cold dipped my rat traps and 160's..I also cold dip my stakes.

I like to do my traps that way. It works great that way, and gives you time to do other things to get ready other than standing over a boiling pot.

Anybody know how much water you can mix with a bag of dry logwood dye? It don't say on the bag, so im guessin it ain't real important.

on the bag it says 2-3 dozen large traps or 4-5 dozen medium traps. To much water will dilute it too much. I would suggest about 10 gallons of water per bag.
