Default coyote snare (treatments)

For a few years I've been treating my snares with Qwik Dip which discolors the cable ...I've done white and brown on different occasions.
My success has been okay....but not perfect.

The problem is coyotes have a keen sense of smell and know the cable is there even if they can't see it. Why else would they approach the "set" and then turn-away. Fresh snow tracks say it all.

My snares are 1/16 aircraft cable that was "dipped last season and sat outside all summer. These are used on the power rams.

Assuming it's a smell issue, how would I wax these snares...
Could they they be dipped in hot water wax....what about the Qwik Dip....will I loose the coloring ?
