I installed a air line and a pressure regulator with multiple outlets on my work bench. I have a much larger compressor (135 psi) that I fluid bed powder paint and spray air guns with. I also use it...

They appear to be too cool when dipped or were not in the paint long enough. You lose a lot of heat on small jigs when transferring from an oven to the paint. I use a small oven on the bench, heating...

Take a look at chrome powder paint covered by a glossy clear coat. Less costly of course but might meet your needs.

You didn't state what type of powder paint you have or brand. You should be able to get the recommended cure temp and time from where you purchased it and most times, will get the you the best...

I understand why they use minnow heads, it's because of the action you get in the water. Round heads are designed to track straight and true when pulled through the water. Minnow heads are erratic...

Do-It mold RVB-SM2, item number 3121. Round head with reverse barb using 570 and 575 hooks. 5 cavities each, 1/64, size 8 and 1/32, size 6 hooks. Slight mods to the hook shank area of mold will...

Suspect you are talking about a bottom pour ladle used by spincasters to keep from pouring slag or other floating debris into the funnel on the spincasting machine. They work really well.

Several...

How did you handle the heads to achieve a production rate of 2000 per hour? The only way I visualize painting a large number of eye's quickly with this machine is to have massive layout trays with...

There are different types of powder paint - Epoxy, epoxy/hybrid, polyester and polyurethane. Most epoxy powders are interior and degrade faster in harsh environmental conditions. Polyester is for...

I've gotten good results with the glitter/mix powder paint using an oven with thermometer for consistent temps on the jigheads, then dip in a fluid bed. Have to make sure paint is staying mixed...

ifish,
When you mention using the sling caster, were you talking about spin casting jigheads?

To get a good red over black you must put on a thick layer of red paint. I use two part epoxy with little or no thinner to make red eyes on black jigheads. The thick paint will make the red eye...

Add some fresh plastic to the remelt process. This thins out and helps prevent the darker color you get from just remelting only. My results this way have been good.

The bulb is meant to flow gas in one direction. Reverse the blub and try it again.

I've been a TU member since July 2007. Yes, they are nice people and cover a broad array of lures, jigs, plastic's, etc. They have lot's of tutorials to help you learn and members are quick to...

Mixing glitter with powder paint will work. Since it's embedded in a colored paint, flake will not show up well unless near the surface.

Clear with glitter works much better as the flake is...

Two things to try. Make sure the mold is hot and leave the ladle in the melted lead. I've found the ladle will cool down the lead more than you realize if it's not left in the pot between pours. ...

I've been using two part epoxy for eyes on powder painted jigheads. Tried Lurecraft Poly-Sil paint for jig eyes last week and it seemed to bond better than the two part epoxy. It has a four to one...

Use a good quality bit and low speeds on the dremel. Cut small amounts and try the hook for fit. It may take several small cuts and hook trying to get it the way you want. Think of it this way,...

Make a small wire rack that will fit inside a pot with a lid. Put an oven thermometer in the pot to set the curing temp on a stove eye or hotplate, then place the rack loaded with the coated jigs...

Reminds one of "who came first, the chicken or the egg". Did they actually design the Road Runner/Stump Jumper or did they trademark an original design, then put an honest person out of business? ...

The pink I have on hand needs a little extra heat for good coverage of the jighead. A greater problem is it will darken up if the cure temp and time is exceeded.

I learned a lot about this in night college classes after I'd passed the know it all kid stage. It's referred to in physical science as Raleigh Scattering Effect. This was just as the old color...

What got me to this point was frustration with heat guns, dipping in jars, etc., just to get a jighead with too much paint, nipples, clogged eyes, and so on. I felt there had to be a better way and...

Get an oven thermometer from Walmart, about $6.00. I get good results with black polyester TGIC powder paint at about 225f, red I'm using now needs about 280. Toaster ovens heat probe is not in the...

no1son you hit the nail on the head. I've been doing this for some time and it speeds up the process tremendously. It's just physics since lead is more dense than the wire hooks so it retains heat...
