if you us the compressor any type of air tools, a moisture separator is a must. Water moisture is the major cause of tool failure and pays hell with your paints, if air brushing. The regulator is an important to protect your air tools, especially like air brushing, which normally operates at low PSI. Depending on the compressor CFM's, you want to be able to control PSI to your tools otherwise it can blow'em apart Mike

Culprit and Punisher makes some nice mylar jigs, that's where I got the idea from. but they're pretty plan, so thought I'd give'em a try and experiment a bit with some other materials to dress them up a bit Mike

I've used them several times in the past. Great customer service, prompt order shipments, reasonable pricing and quality products. You won't be disappointed. Mike

I've thought about trying some of that Kevlar thread but don't have a ceramic guide type bobbin and I've heard using Kevlar threads can pay hell on standard bobbins and tear up your fingers Mike

Thanks Fatman, I'll check out that out. I've started using Danville threads and I think they have the same type 8/0 and 6/0 too. thx's Mike

I'm going to try to tie a few small minnow jigs using Mylar tubing something like this, that Punisher makes, and dress it up a bit ... experimenting a bit if you will Was wonder what type of thread would work the best on tying Mylar tubing? Mike

think I'll take yankee jigger advise ... sounds like a better idea instead of trying mess with a bunch of old jig. thx's Mike

I've been going through some of my old jigs and would like to repaint them. What's the best method to remove old paint and prep the jig to be repainted with new powder paints. thx's Mike
