zinc coated chain - solution
I received this trap; the chain was coated in zinc so it was shiny and won't take dye...
I set the trap on a jar (just to use as little vinegar as possible, when I have lots to do I use a bucket) and I put a 50/50 mix of water to white vinegar in the jar...
I left it like that overnight and this morning I removed it and tossed it out in the grass...
Five hours later it looks like this, no more zinc just a perfect light coating of rust for dying...
