Afterdark,
Your problem causing the "drip" is most likely too much paint on your jig head. I know this from my own experiences .
First I would suggest that you (if not using a fluid bed) make sure you loosen up your paint by rolling and shaking paint jars to get lots of air incorporated into the powder. Then, when you dip your heated jig head, just swish it around very briefly and tap it on the side of the jar to get excess powder off. Hold back over heat gun to melt paint. If jig head is not covered well enough, remember you can always repeat and add a little more by repeating above. Just don't try and do it all in one dip.
Finally, I have made a squeeze device that clamps the jig heads by the hook, holding the jig head up and the hook down. When placed in the curing oven, if I happen to get too much paint on the head, the paint will run down the hook shank and will not be noticeable on the jig head.
I hope this will help you painting your jigs. Remember, practice will get you better painted jigs.......... and.............. Less is more!!!
Good luck,
Mike
