We cut a barrel in half and fill it with water
Put a large propane burner underneath and get the water boiling
Add baking soda and spruce bows to the boiling water
Boil the traps for 5 minutes
Dip the hot trap into gas/speed dye solution
Hang to dry, then put them in a Rubbermaid bin
Put the gas / speed dye solution into a Gerry can and keep it for next time
Using this method we only dye once every 3 seasons or so and have used the same speed dye for 2 dips so far (6 years) and plan on using it again in 3 years time
Having the trap hot makes the dye stick way better when you dip in we have found
