[QUOTE="deerdills, post: 5835385, member: 4745"] Pot of water to boil, decrease heat to simmer, add 1-2 wax block, when wax becomes liquid, turn temp down just enough to keep clear liquid form. Add traps, give it some time for traps to reach water/wax temp. Slowly pull trap up through the wax, which is floating on top of the water. Give a shake, hang to dry, or lay on cardboard. This is the easy, cost-effective method. The other method is to not use water and fill the pot with wax. With this, there is a risk of getting too hot and burning the wax since it is in direct contact with the bottom of pot. This can put a burnt smell on the traps, which kinda defeats the purpose. Also you must stir a lot more and keep a real close eye on temperature. Not to mention you will use 10+ blocks of wax for this method $$. [/QUOTE]
