Termite Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I got my first batch of powdered jigs and spinnerbaits done and decided to cure them. I put them in at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. When I took them out I had several that the paint had run and a few of them dripped on the catch pan. Not a big deal for personal use but I would like to get that glitch cleared up. Any ideas? Thanks. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I assume you are talking about putting them in the oven of your wife's stove. When you fire up an oven it gets really hot to begin with. Wait till it reaches the desire temp before you put the jigs in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a toaster oven, or find one at a garage sale. Secondly, if your paint is dripping, you have way tooooooo much powder paint on it. It's that simple. Less is better. you can always add more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJS Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 What cadman said, waaay too much powder paint. I only do small batches of jigs, many 20 at a time, so I still dip using the little jars the PP is sold in. Its very important to fluff up the PP after ever couple of dips. Using pliers to hold the jig hook, I do a 1/2 second swish in the PP then ASAP I rap the pliers/jig over the side of a trashcan to knock off ALL excess PP. All must be done quickly, small jigs cool off fast once they leave the oven. Then swish in coldwater to set the PP, then do the next jig. Clean out eyes before curing. But then maybe your oven is running hotter than the thermostat indicates. BTW, what is powder paint anyway??? Stuff is great! I've never painted jigheads once I found and mastered PP. For a 2-troned effect, try stretching a swatch of nylon stocking over the jar of PP (hold in place with rubberband) then lightly shake it over the hot jighead. General do a quick dip in white then ASAP shake on a little blood red PP, then in coldwater to set PP. Gotta do it all very fast so the jig is still hot enough to hold the red in place before curing. Looks real good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
