sdsaw Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hi Guys, This has probably been answered previously, but I can't find the answer while doing a search. I'm getting ready to powder coat some poison tail heads. It's my understanding that it is best to epoxy the weedless fibers in as the final step after curing the powder? What do you do to prevent the powder paint from filling in the fiber hole since the hole is barely large enough to accommodate the fiber?

timturr Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 sdsaw, I use a piece of 1/8 inch dowel that can be obtained at any home store. I cut a piece of dowel about two inches long, heat the jig, place dowel in weed guard hole, dip and remove from paint, then remove dowel rod. When the dowel gets old or covered in paint, simply discard and cut another piece. This is very inexpensive and works for me. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) I dip, turn upside down and tap out the paint. After curing I touch up with a 1/8" drill bit. Edited March 27, 2010 by Jig Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do to prevent the powder paint from filling in the fiber hole since the hole is barely large enough to accommodate the fiber? just go ahead and powder coat them and let the powder get in the hole, heat cure them then take a variable speed drill with 1/8 inch bit (or whatever size your fiber guard hole is) and....slowly.....drill the cured powder coat out of the hole.....it's tough stuff but no match for high speed steel. Then glue in your fiber guards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
