dannyp Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 George Reeves is the expert around here as well as cadman What ever they say I would take to the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Combat, Sent you a PM. Will help where I can. dannyp, Thanks for the compliment, but an expert I am not. I powder paint approx. 1200 jigs/spinnerbaits/buzzbaits a week and every time I turn on the fluid beds, it is a new experience and often with a new problem to solve, very challenging at times to achieve the results you want. If you have ever noticed in every one of 'cadman's' posts, at the bottom is his motto - "practice, practice, practice, and when you think you are good, practice some more". Every word of that is gospel, and that you can take to the bank. We are both always willing to offer a helping hand, but unfortunately don't have ALL the answers.

cadman Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Combat, Myself, George and others will help you as much as possible, all you have to do is ask and be patient. My hat is off to George, as he paints a lot more jigs per week than I do, so he would be the one to give you good advice in painting and racking hundreds of jigs. I paint about a couple hundred a week, mostly multi-color. There is no magic answer or solution to powder painting. Everyone paints differently, and we all find a system that works for us. You will have to do the same. This may sound cliché, but it is all about practice. I’m not talking about couple hundred jigs; I’m talking about painting thousands, trial and error, and then trying to push yourself to do better if that’s what you want. There are days that nothing works for me, luckily I give myself extra time to finish orders, and on those days I just walk away and start the next day.

woodfish Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 :worship:Hi all: I'm a new guy on the block here. I've been crafting lures for about 30 years. I found this site doing a serch on fluid beds. Nice site!! Anyway my question is: Wher can I find a electric static charging machine to use with powder coating. I would like to use a small air brush to spay the paint. I think the larger coating guns will be to big for me. I do mostly jigs and sometimes spoons. I see harbor freight has a setup for around $65.00 but I don't think I need that big of a gun. Any suggestion or input greatly helpfull.. Thanks Dave:yeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
