Bravo ,the first guy I've seen that has a system and no troubles. Great job and nice explanation!!

The trouble I found with all types of sand is it is crystally & likes to coat with instead of absorb the melted wax which leads to frozen clumping & crusting. Too much or too little wax & it can be worse than dry plain sand. Might not blend other soil conditions very well either. I found some sand,soil, fine ground saw dust,bark & decomposed mulch absorbed the wax really well. I just used a bagging mower to mow & grind it 4 or 5 times ,sift everything & then mix. Due to lack of money,I just mixed it in a steel mortar trough with a hoe with a ditch under it with burned sticks. But we all work with what we have at hand sometimes. I even mowed dry leaves & baled hay until dust & found it very beneficial when mixed in at the proper ratio. Here in New York it can get really wet,rainy & lots of snow melt then hit -15f. We get some of the best & some of the worst of the weather around here,trouble is it often zigs when you zag so the only way to stay ahead of it is preparing for the worst way in advance.

Possibly one of the best videos I've seen, made your wax sand, didn't like it, fixed the process and nailed the result, you can see the difference in the video. Great job!

I have watched enough of your videos that when I was out checking a minnow traps my 4 year old fell in his snow shoes. He pops his head up covered in snow and yells "man down man down". That was pretty funny.

It's great when you get your system down Im glad it's working for you! I've already went through 12 buckets of waxed dirt this year! Good luck with everything brother!

It’s been good weather haven’t needed it lol

That's wild how the wax repels water so well! Really gonna have to look into this. Made a bunch of coyote sets a couple weeks ago and rained that night, spent the next day remaking every set

Congrats on 64K trappr j

I prefer wax dirt but each his or her own

I use that exact mixer to tumble large batches of brass...I usually will tumble a 5gal bucket of 9mil brass at at time.....saves alot of time rather than using the normal vibratory tumblers

Glad to see Bertha earning her keep now LOL

If it does have lumps in just use your auger as a big paint whisk to break them up in that galvanized ducting.ThankQ.TkEZ>UK

Great video on how to make wax sand but what do u prefer at your set's wax sand or wax dirt and do u have a link for the wax u where using? Thxs

Great demo video,!! Looks like a quick way to do it

For Christmas this year I got a 220 conabear do you think I can use it for beavers

Be nice if you could get bulk "Bio-Char". It's naturally water resistant, and absorbs smells. Don't need anything else! No wax or anything, tho I do use Salt on top and bottom.

Thanks for sharing how to do this I’m going to have to try it

Love your singing

Thanks for the tips!

Awesome thanks for all that you share

If your wax is that powdery you may not need heat. You might just need to turn it in the mixer with the sand for it to abrade and coat together.

👍

Amazing!

Great system you've got there!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Very cool

@@TrapperJOutdoors Ok. You have good river sand there but have you ever heard of what's called "sugar sand or blow sand"? It's the only sand I don't have to wash because it's naturally water resistant.

how long well that tube full last you
