    Re: Powder paint/coat Jigs

    I have not really messed with weed guards on jigs. As far as powder painting, couple things you can do. It will take a little practice to get it down. You can make things easier by pouring the powder paint into a container with a larger mouth. Fluff the paint up after a few jigs and keep it from clumping together. You need to make sure the jig head is hot enough to accept the paint, but not to hot to burn it. I use a toaster oven set at 325 and a small cookie tray to keep the jigs warm between dips. Hang them on a rack to cool. You can set up a baking rack using a small bread loaf type tin. You'll use this to cure the jigs in the toaster oven.

    Re: Powder paint/coat Jigs

    I use a torch to heat the jig and use a metal hose adapter the size of the weed guard to heep them from melting. If i use basepins I cure the jigs in the oven hanging them on the rack and baking at 350 for 20 mins....The hose adapters came from lowes, a dollar or two i think..not too much but works well...just be careful the adapter will heat up as well...
