<p>I realize this is an older thread/subject, how ever for those powder coating, once you dip the jig into the paint clean the eye of the hook as soon as possible, and especially befor baking.....learned this the hard way. Eric</p>

<p>I powder paint and use fingernail polish (in combination also). All the auto patterns I tye are on jig heads that have been powder coated.</p>

<p>Great choice. Heating them after the initial coating over 20 minutes will allow the paint to seep into all the permeable spots of the jig's head, and further strengthen the bond between metal and pain. Me, I just slap a Hard As Nail layer into it, after coating the pain with UV splash to let it glow under 15 to 20 feet of water for additional attraction.</p>

<p>But my gosh Dick, hundreds? Your wife is quite understanding. My wife will kill me if I dare to even introduce anything…</p>

<p>Garrett personally I don't bake mine but some people that do they use the wife's oven. I would think when you hang them upside down on a rack you should be able to hang hundreds. I would think that way you can get everything all done at once.</p>

<p>You can use a cheap heat gun, or hair dryer (make sure to have permission from your significant other/family member before messing it up..learned my lesson). You can even use the gas range to heat up your jig head. Make sure when heating it up, don't expose the lead too closely to the heat source, sine the lead will warp/melt. You need to experiment how far/close to the heat source you need to use, since each heat source is unique.</p>

<p>There are a few video on YouTube that will teach you how to use the paints properly, using various method, and different heat source. Me, I normally use my gas range if I'm in the hurry, and don't want to use the heat gun. I loosen the paint in the jar well after each few dip to prevent clumping. Quick circling dips, and allow the jigs to cool of on a self-made wire rack.</p> I use a toaster oven I got at…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2013-04-29:2036984:Comment:3783152013-04-29T20:28:52.128ZMike Lowreyhttp://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/MikeLowrey
