    Great info, but when mixing glitter into paint I have very poor results. I want to try using clear with glitter over the paint. Is there a need to cure before clear coating?

    No need to cure, heat head, dip in base color then pass over heat source lightly and into your clear with glitter. When doing that I run two cups at same time off a dual outlet aquarium pump. Just dip heat dip and into cup of water to cool hang then after a bunch done I clean up around hook eye and bake.

    #1 FOR ME ALSO. Cray, I have tried dipping the head in water to cool and not cure them but I get chipping from the uncured head. We are doing something different no doubt.

    As usual I don’t fully explain myself. I dip after painting only to cool for handling. Burned fingers to many times. After cooling I hang on a wire rack in groups. Then I clean eyes up and then put in toaster oven and bake. Sorry about that Stump.

    I use #2 and I dip and use fluid beds. Once you learn it you can mix the glitter right into the paint. Advice!! Write down every thing you do when mixing!!! I have this really cool color and I can't for the life of me remember how I mixed it!!!

    Kevin you don't have to use metal glitter!! I use craft store glitter all the time and just about every brand. I really like the Nicole brand glitter in extra fine.

    Cadman who's posted here some but is very active on another board has as a quote and I use it!!! "Practice, practice, practice and when you think you have it practice some more"!!!

    I mix all my glitter w/ clear powder and tap it on w/ small paint brushes.
    Same with any multicolor jig head.
    The ones with horse hair are best as far as control.

    Great looking jigs, I'm going to try this method.
