Jay,
you may want to look into GST internationals wet look concrete sealer. Ive used it for everything from thread cement to sealing airbrushed cranks and not had a single issue. It is very thin so sometimes a double dip is needed if you are wanting to build a finish. I get mine at menards (OK it comes in gallons so I got my lifetime supply) and initial cost seems a bit high but once I counted my empty bottles of sallys, muliplied by cost per bottle, it was a no brainer.

I put vaseline on the inside of the lid. Transfer to a squeeze bottle (I use a pipette so as not to make a mess) and to a couple of applicator bottles http://www.ebay.com/itm/Applicator-Bottl...=item1c508aabf8 and I'm ready to go.

Thanks for the info Buck!!!

The top half of the jig is oxidizing which causes the jig head to turn dull.this is a natural thing for the soft lead that is used to make these jigs.When you apply the Sally and it touches the lead it puts a thin protective coat on it and doesn't allow the oxidization to take place. Coat the entire head with the Sally's and the lead will stay shinny
