Powder By The Pound Users

[haxx5300]

Hello all,

I have a couple questions for those out there that use paint from Powder by the Pound. I was curious if all of their paints work as a typical jig powder paint i.e. application process? Do you just heat your jig up as normal and dip them or are most of you using guns for it?? I am just getting into this and really don't want to get something I can't use or need special equipment to use. I must say there are alot of colors on there that look quite intriguing and I think would look really nice on some jigs. Should I stay with a specific line of their products or will all of them work for me?? I will be getting a gun shortly but I definitely don't want to get something that will only adhere with an electrostatic application. If anybody out there could give me some guidance or advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

They all will work. The electrostatic gun will give you a universal covering. Using heat will give you a covering determined by temp. time of contact and will very in thickness depending on pressure, contact time and fluffiness of the paint. Electrostatic= same amount of paint every time. Heat, with practice you can get pretty close. The paint will work either way. Technique determines the thickness of paint on the jig. One other thing is size. It is hard to dip a 10 oz. jig. It is like trying to dip a bowling ball in a bucket of sand. Small stuff will work by heating and dipping. The paint works the same either way.

Thanks for the info. Just wanted to make sure when I was looking through the "bass boat" color heading It wasnt wishful thinking. As far as the 10 oz jig is concerned I am a bass fisherman and have yet to see a bass capable of taking a 10 oz jig head .

Some colors may require a base coat to get the shade you desire. The manufactures often will list the required base coat. If you are starting out with a plain jig head it is chrome like. The glow colors usually require a white base coat. Once you start playing around with it you will be only limited by your imagination.
