Guest,
Very nice looking jigs. I have to commend you on the clean paint job. You mentioned adding something to get a veined look. Are you adding it to a standard color of powder, or are you...

I would definitely go with a heavier gauge wired cord and maybe go no more than 6 feet long.

AZ,
Nice looking jigs. That silver/bronze in that pci looks awesome. Let us know how you do.

Thanks Skip and fish_4_all. I will try clearing out the cookies and stuff to see if that helps. If not I will send slab an e-mail.

Actually it is better to start with the valve closed. Slowly open the valve and watch as the powder in the cup rises. If it rises past the top, you have too much powder in the cup. Take some out and...

You are looking for some Fluid Bed instructions. I have them and can give them to you no problem. I tried to PM you but your PM box is full. Anyway PM me your e-mail and I will get it out to you.

I'm glad it worked out for you. I use a air pump for a 50 gal. aquarium, dual port similar to what ifish uses. Happy Powder Painting.

Fluid beds are for one color painting whether they be a white base coat or a regular paint color. If you are doing 10 or 50 or 100, the fluid bed puts the paint on thinner and it also keeps the...

I have had some candle wax that did not ignite, it was from Yankee Candle, and yes that's all it did was smoke, and my pot was hot. Also my wife buys and burns many candles weekly, and some of them...

Crappie Josh,
Do what Jiggin Joe does, that's what I do. I also use wooden stick matches, if you don't want to use stick matches a long arm lighter will work as well. I don't want to come off...

Paraffin is just as good.

Here are 2 your other choices for you guys in wonder, any candle wax and bees wax. On the candle wax you can use pretty much anything. The only thing...

Snake River, can you tell me where you got this tube jig mold or are you buying the jigs. Please PM me.............Thanks

Fatman is correct. Zeiner's has the best prices on any new molds anywhere and the service is outstanding.

If I were to use fluorescent orange, then I would use red, and brown and keep shading down. PM sent.

Take some regular orange (not fluorescent orange) and add some brown to tone it down to get the shade you want. That's how I would do it.

In my opinion Jiggin Joe and Fatman have it right. Lead does not give off toxic fumes unless it's boiling and there is vapor. All the lead melting pots I know of will not boil lead. Biggest concern...

stew,
Are you referring to the bass jig and spinnerbait type of skirts?

Rockbass,
PM me, I may be able to help you out.

I know this is a crappie forum and I know many guys don't use jigs with weedguards. I am not here to try to convert anyone into making jigs with weedguards. With that said I am sure that there are...

Skip when you pour the jig, there is a pin that goes in the mold so lead doesn't fill. When you take the jig out of the mold the pin is still in the jig. When you pull the pin out there is a hole in...

LedHed, thanks for the compliment

Like LedHed and some others have stated here, you can use tubing, aluminum foil, and special tubing (sold by Do-It and Barlow's) to cover weedguards before...

CJ ,
I mix colors all the time as well. There is no problem in doing that. Like LedHed said that is what you had to do in the past before all the plethora of colors that exist now. Also I have...

Although I have never used the two together to paint a jig, I would say definitely no. Vinyl paint is reduced with lacquer thinner and lacquer thinner is very volatile and very flammable. You would...

If you want really nice detailed painted jigs, use transparent colors or blade dip. You can't beat it for good color saturation. Also paint your jigs right after pouring, this will yield the most...

LedHed,
You paint exactly like I do . I see you do the same thing with the back of the brush (mix paint in the jar) that's interesting.

He didn't state either way, so I thought I would tell him how I did it. Personally I wouldn't even buy jigs with weedguards in them for the reasons I mentioned. To each his own.



The question...

That sounds familiar.:D:D
I too used to use vinyl paint when I first started, and my headaches were so bad I had to either find a different paint or quit making jigs. So I found another paint,...

If any of you guys tie quality rabbit or fox hair jigs. I have a customer that wants about 24 jigs tied in rabbit or fox. I will supply the painted jig head (so far) and you will supply the tied...

Iv'e been doing this for 7years, and in my opinion you can not get a good powder paint job with weedguards in it because the paint has to be baked (cured) on the jig and in order to do this, the jig...
