Bob, if I want to temper in my toaster over, what temp. and for how long do you suggest?

Lots of spam again

Thanks Dink. I just ordered the smaller wire. I have a shlod of left over trailer hooks, since I can't use them here on the Delta.
-
I used to open the hook eyes with an awl, but the newer Mustad jig hooks are too hard and brittle. Only the 5/0 will open without breaking.

Ted, the Mustad jig hooks I'm using are soft after I heat the hook eye red hot. They stay soft and don't break, like they did before I heated them. I was hoping to find a way to re-temper them so they would still be soft enough to bend, but no longer be brittle when re-bent, like the originals.

I heat my jig hook eyes so I can open them without breaking to insert a chatter blade. Is there a way I can re-temper them so they won't reopen as easily?

"I have in the past two years switched to spray on. Hands free." Me, too.

I used to use red sharpies to get a bleeding gills effect by not heat setting the sharpie before I dipped it concrete sealer, and then hang it tail down, so the sharpie ran down a bit. Here's a picture of the effect:

Nice!

I suggest using a file instead of sand paper. Sanding dust is fine, but filings are large enough to be safer. I would still use gloves and a mask.

I use flexible silicone 2 cup/1 pint measuring cups used for cooking. I pinch the top with a large paper clip to get a smaller spout to pour fine things. I wear gloves because they get as hot as the plastisol in the microwave while I'm cooking it. The spout eventually will clog, but I can move the clip to the other side of the cup and have a new spout. I don't like glass with hot plastic in it.

Contact the plastic maker and ask them. -
Me, too.

I don't know of anyone, but I do want to say welcome back to the site. I hope your health has improved, and that you have a great fishing trip.

Thanks

How does the amount of microballons affect strength?
-
At least until they come up with inserts for bass lures.
-
I prime my metal baits with Rustoleum Self Etching Primer. Just be sure it works with your paint finish.
-
It looks interesting. i wonder if they'll offer bass jig inserts.
-
Does Jacobs still make the mold inserts?

Happy Birthday Ben "Rayburn Ben" Siegel, wherever you are. You are missed.

While you're waiting for your blanks, use the time to practice painting on some white PVC plumbing pipe. You can learn to paint curved surfaces, blend colors, and control your air and paint ratios and pressures.
-
Is it hard to work with? Is it actually stronger and stretchy?
-
Dollar store clear nail polish works for smaller baits.

I always add a small amount of new plastisol and heat stabilizer. I never have any discoloration from the stabilizer.
