crinkle jig paint ties

[Jamesdean]

Yep, I agree with SuperDave. Sometimes things happen. I found your videos on youtube thanks to Dave posting it here from their. Great stuff, and I appreciate the effort that goes into making them. They are very informative for sure. Looking forward to the two-part on doing the crinkle paint. I have to wait till the first but am going to get me some of that crinkle paint for sure...Thanks again.

I started to do a two part version on crinkle powder paint yesterday and was making an adjustment to my phone angle and the phone popped out of the holder sending things flying. The s**t word popped out of my mouth followed by an F bomb. Video over, delete. I plan on doing more and hopefully everything will improve the more I do. I do have a tripod with light that will rotate 360 but haven't figured that out yet.

Good to know things happen to others like this, lol! Nothing quite like watching a disaster when doing something like that and have had my share and just hope to avoid the next time!

Sounds like me when I go through a learning curve. Right idea though, backup, regroup and try again later. Good videos Jim, and thanks for teaching us how.

I watched and tried and got silver crinkle jig heads. Hmmmmmm

I still cant get past grey crinkle coating. Doesn’t flow to create effects. I raised oven temp and time. I coated when hot and paint turned shiny and when somewhat cold and paint was powdery looking.

Is it the brand of silver crinkle paint that makes the difference ?

I have run out of ideas.

I’m in the same boat as you and I believe some batches are different than others. Im pretty hip at painting heads and have tried everything for it with minimal separation. I need to try a different crinkle color than silver but got so frustrated with it I put it away.

Try something like a candy or transparent color after a white basecoat. One of my favorites is dip in white base, then dip in candy yellow, tap on orange with brush and into the silver crinkle. I have been baking mine starting at 325 for 10 minutes and then raising temps 25-40 degrees for 5-10 minutes so they run even more. Once I put them in the oven with the heads pointed up I don't open the oven until I am finished. Opening the oven during baking allows cooler air to enter and I think this stops the color separation.

I dipped in plain white, dipped in transparent yellow, then silver crinkle and got.....beautiful silver crinkle heads. I am beginning to think that the brand of silver crinkle matters. Anyways this is frustrating and I am tossing in the towel on this one. Thanks for trying to help and the jigs look great.

I painted some 1/4 football heads and tied a few yesterday. Bunny hair with firetiger legs and orange flash were used for these.Attachment 400504Attachment 400505Attachment 400506Attachment 400507Attachment 400508

I like the effect of the crinkle paint for sure. It seems brand matters as well as method of dipping. If you don't mind sharing, what brand of crinkle did you use? you can PM me if you prefer. Thank you.
