Hello, There are a lot of topics that talk about painting jigs with some good info, but I am wondering if we can tackle this common concern in one thread. It may already exist, but I could not find it. Anyway, my long winded question is this: I pour jigs with the weed guard in. And when I go to powder paint I am having a hell of a time figuring out the best way to keep the weed guard from warping during the curing process. Currently, I use copper tubing cut to length that I cover the weed guard with, but this is still an imperfect science as the weed guard softens and bends in the oven and the copper gets extremely hot and can mess with the paint job around the base of the guard. I have tried pouring without the weed guard. Obviously, this makes painting and curing way easier. However, The paint then makes the weed guard hole too small for the FG-30 guard to go into. And even if I take the time to bore out each hole I have found that the super glue does not seem to do an adequate job of holding the guard, if at all. So, either I am using the wrong kind of super glue, doing something wrong with this process, or I have not figured out how to cure the jigs with the weed guard in them properly. Any advice on this topic would be appreciated. I am not overly new to this process, but have not been smart enough to figure out how to get this last hurdle jumped. I am now reaching out to the masses. What do you think of my dilemma?
