First Batch of Powder Painting

Messed up 4pcs out of the 5 dozens i painted last night.

You are on a roll. Clean eyes and everything !!!!

Looks like your ready now for some tying?

Yes Sir! Just waiting on my vise.

Thanks. Read a thread a TFF'R posted, about curing a batch of jigs without busting out the eyes

Good job, they look nice you.

That's happend to all of us one time or another I bet. Well except jigman. He's like the Chuck Norris of jig tying. The paint is afraid to clog his eyes up

Nice.

Nice job!!! i really like that blue color!!!

Rut roh. I can see it now.

Mrs. Magged Out on the OT complaining that when you are home, all you want to do is tie jigs. Careful, it's a very slippery slope but is fun when you catch on jigs you tied yourself.

BTW - don't try heating your heads with a rosebud. Sure, you can do a bunch at one time but the lead tends to run off the hook.

Does the paint give off an odor of you use the kitchen oven?

Hey just a thought here about how I deal with the eye paint. I use a wooden tooth pick that I usually have to use a knife on to make pointed and small enough, but have used same ones for years. I stick that tooth pick through he eye as soon as it comes out of the powder paint and sometimes it takes a couple times, but most then are fine for curing. Now here is the important part, after all that eventually some will close up again when in the oven and if that happens all you need to do is have a small needle bodkin and heat it good and stick it in the eye and it will melt the paint right out of there. I do that when I clamp it in the vise to tie.

Some just hook the jig head with their stats when dipping it in the paint, but not my cup of tea as I don't like having to clean my stats and the tooth picks can be cleaned by using your thumb nail and finger scraping it. However do what ever your comfortable with as that is what matters most!
