Make sure you are wearing gloves for everything you have handled with your hands. Clean rubber gloves work best for this. Hang the traps in a tree for a few days, then store in the Rubber Made containers. It is best to do the waxing part outside. So after you pull the traps up you can shake off the excess wax.
Some people melt the wax on top of the dye.
Some have just a wax pot. Whatever way you decide, make sure you are thinking safety. Wax will catch on fire, if the wax is smoking your heat is too hot. Make sure you keep the kids back from this hot wax, melted wax will cause severe burns. Have a tarp standing by to smother any flames.
