Heating jig heads?

[skiptomylu]

BIC lighter works for me, but I like the idea of the alcohol burner.

I think it's the best because it's forgiving and just a 4 count on 1/32 & 1/16 and maybe up to a 6 count for 1/4. Easy and fast enough for me.

Besides the alcohol is really cheap and clean burning.

What do you use to head your jig heads for powder painting? I been using a butane lighter which suits my purposes but it get hard on the thumb after a while.

Bill,.........Propane torch On small cylinder works fine or me.

We got to get together one day and trade jigs and go fishing.

Go to Wal Mart and pick up a small toaster oven with a tray. Dump jigs on the tray set to 350 degrees turn on. In about seven minutes all the jigs are the same temp. No more counting seconds or the danger of catching something on fire. Price range 30.00 to 50.00 dollars. Also if you get hungry you can toast bread. Ha.

I use the cans of Sterno cooking fuel that you can get at Wally world in the camping section to heat the jigs for dipping, just hold the jig with pliers over the flame while flipping from side to side and count to 4 mississippi and dip.. it's worked good for me so far. Very clean burning and the fuel is a gel so no spills.

Today at Walmart they have toaster ovens for $14.88.I guess it is the price for the college students since I live only 15 min. from the University of Notre Dame.
