  1. I have both of the molds and am using the Mustad EWG 9176BLN 28
  2. That is a great place to buy skirts: fast, friendly, and good prices.
  3. What type and size heads, style and size hooks, and which weedguard are we talking about here?
  4. If it were me, I'd put 2 of them in and give it a try. I'd also set a timer and sit and watch them if I could.
  5. I wasn't given an option of not paying the excise. If you can avoid it then maybe next share you'll have to do the ordering.
  6. It is a deal if you want it. I just called in the order and they added an excise tax so the total is $129. I'll let you have half of them for $64.50 and ship them to you at my expense.
  7. I have been quoted $108 + shipping.
  8. I am needing some 4/0 Mustad 91768BLN and the best deal is on a 1000 hooks. I don't need more than 500 if that many. I'd like to find someone who would take the other 500 if possible.
  9. I have an old spinnerbait mold that will only pour this time of year if I use a propane torch and heat the inside of it. I do it with the wire and hook in place. Otherwise I have to wait until July no matter what lead I am using.
  10. Yep I have powder paint at least 10 years old. It packs from disuse but still fluffs up and paints.
  11. I found that 12 g single strand electric wire does a pretty good jog in my fb mold. About a foot of it cut into 1" pieces made tons of pins. I can mold until my heart's content and pull the pins when I am done. Like stated I have to reopen the holes after I paint and bake the heads but it just takes a few seconds on each head. It also makes it a lot easier to tie on the skirts with no wg on.
  12. Yes that makes sense. I only have 50 of them right on the work bench by the mold. Sometimes it is so hard to see the forest for the trees. Thanks.
  13. I have a mold that I want to use without the pins and have no weedguard. The lead runs out the bottom of the mold when I don't have the pins in. I only want a tempory substance. I have tried modeling clay and it melts. What can I take a dab of and make a few jigs w/o weed guard or pin holes.
  14. I must have the wrong kind of candle. I couldn't get it to work so I had to do the drain, clean, reload with my pot.
  15. I have a candle and am heading to the shop to give it a try.

    heat gun ?

    My heat gun came from Harbor Freight tools sales. I don't use it for powder paint but it gets a lot of use.
  17. Thanks. I just picked up one at Wally World that says 10-30 gallon. It is very quiet but doesn't seem to put out much air. As soon as the silicone dries, I am hooking it up and trying it out.
  18. I am finally getting around to building a fluid bed. I have searched and read many threads on the subject but have not been able to discern what size pump is best to get. I also live in a small town and will probably have to drive to a larger one to buy the pump. Where would be a good place to buy such a pump?
  19. Copper won't rust. I have been using the windings out of an old table saw motor for the last 10 years and still have several hundred more pieces to go. I do prefer string tying them to wire though. It gives me much more control of just where I have the material when it is cinched down.
  20. Also what kind of mold is it?
  21. You might try craft hair. It is easier to work with than deer hair and has a lot more action.
  22. I buy mine from Stamina.
  23. Patience, a dremel tool, a grinding disk on it.
