ashleydawn2188 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I got my first jig mold set for Christmas and am not really sure where to start. There are no instructions, and don't want to just jump in without some guidelines. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I really don't know what you mean by a "jig mold set". What does that include? Are you making plastics or jigs as I can't tell by your post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 You will need a way to heat the plastisol (hot plate or dedicated microwave). You need dedicated pans or pyrex containers in which to melt the plastisol. You shouldn't do this in the house unless you live alone. You need some good gloves to handle things as you will be working with plastisol that is normally 350-375°F. If I were you I'd go to the top and read about don'ts for newbies. Then I'd do a bit of other research to get some questions answered. Then I'd do a 4 oz melt and experiment with making some baits. After you make a few you will have tons of questions. Be careful and have fun. BTW You may have to get a second job to support your new habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
