Thread: Heating!!

How much heat do you guys apply to jig head before swishing in powder paint? It seems like to much heat equals to much paint.

I usually give mine a count to 8 one thousand, while rotating. Then a quick back and forth swish. It helped me a lot when I started fluffing the paint up first. I just use a toothpick and stir it really good. Also, that is usually with 1/16 oz.

it all depends on your heat source and the size of your jig i use a heat gun and i count to 4 one thousand for a 1/16 oz jig gives a nice thin coat and if i need more paint i just reheat the jig and dip it again till i get what im looking for. when i was using a lighter i would count to 8 one thousand and on some bigger jigs might even go as high as 14 one thousand
