    But I do know what membrane you’re speaking of and know I have a small sheet somewhere around here. Maybe attic. I will look for you. A friend sent it many years ago. Just more trouble than it’s worth if you ask me.
    Can do all you need within the jars. And create your own custom colors with extra jars.
    This is a custom paint I came up with for a buddy who loves Bobby Garland blue thunder jigs

    I store the paint in these cups (cover with test plug cap).

    Thanx sir! I value your opinion
    When I can do it I like to make things for people.

    Beautiful setup Crappie Dreamer but way too time consuming for my work/fish/family situation. I have over a thousand jars of paint, most that’ll never see the light of day.
    Wanna buy em Powder Paint Fluid Beds
    Just doesn’t make sense for me.
    The custom cups and big work stations are suited for guys selling to fisherman in quantity.…. Gluck with it.

    If that’s what you’re looking for mr gadget, it’s only a sheet but it’s yours if ya want it. Just don’t think ya need it. Might make ... 6 cups, maybe 7 depending on your hardware.
    Can pm an address

    Man, You got a lot going on here. Like the set up, just didn't plan on going that far with all the colors. That may change though the further I get into making jig heads. Thanks for the info.

    I didn’t plan on going that far either! I started out with only 4 colors and buying my bare jigs from someone else.

    Be careful... this fun hobby can become very addicting!
