Snaring Tools

Using Formla One

Snares can be dipped without pre-treatment. Just build and dip. It is recommended to close the loop of the snare, then dip. Hook the dipped snares over a clothes line by the closed loop, keeping them from touching one another. Dip snares once or twice.

Brown is the most translucent and will not cover as fast as the other shades of Formula One, but protection is still there. It is the best color for water traps and all snares. You must protect Formula One from freezing. Scroll below to order.

We are proud to say we have formulated the best ever in trap dip. It's easy to use, odor free and is unlike anything you've ever used. This formula is water-soluble and adheres easily to all types of metal. Traps and snares may be used as soon as Formula One has cured. No air-out time is needed. Formula One dries to the touch in two hours and can be used on the trapline in 24 hours. It's that easy! Stronger than dye, more durable than paint. Formula One gives a hard finish.
