psilvers Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I know some guys use other setups, but I like to cure mine by hanging them in a toaster oven. I use ornament hangers that people use on Christmas trees. I stole some from my wife (shhhhhh!!!) and I had been using those. In November, I purchased a pack from Wal-Mart, Target, and one of the hobby stores (Michaels?). Anyway, it turns out the ones from Target were great- and cheap $1 for 200. That was fine - except I forgot to get more. Fortunately, I remembered the other day and they still had them at Target -- and at 50% off. Just a reminder - now is the time to get your ornament hangers if that is what you use! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfart9999 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 You could use paper clips, they are cheap. I have a rack in my toaster oven and just hang my jigs by the hook. Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyGrub Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) You must have taller toaster ovens than I. I made a foil pan with rods, after some suggestions found on TU site: http://www.joefishin.com/PowderPainting.html Edited December 31, 2011 by FuzzyGrub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I bought a pan at Wally World and used an old grate from a worn out grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Just flip your oven up side down and hang the jig from the rack that came with the oven. I bought an old toaster oven at a yard sale for $4 that is huge, and 2 different rack heights in it, and needed for larger saltwater jigs. It has a door that swings open from the side. Hope that sucker never dies lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psilvers Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yup BLT - I do the same for my saltwater jigs! I actually have my eye on a larger toaster oven. As for the paper clips - I have done that in a pinch, this is just easier. The rods in the pan is fine for smaller jigs - these are larger jigs.

smalljaw Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 You must have taller toaster ovens than I. I made a foil pan with rods, after some suggestions found on TU site: http://www.joefishin...erPainting.html I use a foil pan just like the one in FuzzyGrub's link. I got a length of 1/8" diameter aluminum rod when I worked at ALCOA and made a hole on each side of the pan and pushed the rod through, now when I make my jigs I just hang them on the bar, the pan catches drip if there is a jig or spinnerbait with too much paint on them, pretty good set up. BTW, by using a fluid bed and a spray set up I haven't had any nipples or drips in over 6 years!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfart9999 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I found a rack for baking at a charity sale place. The rack is tall enough for large jigs and with a bit of modification can hold 50 or 60 jigs for curing. I paint using a heat gun but will try a hair dryer as the heat gun gets too hot. I ried heating in the oven but the jigs cool too fast. Rodney Edited January 1, 2012 by Oldfart9999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psilvers Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 BTW, I should have clarified this - many of the jig bodies I pour have no hooks until I add them after painting (e.g. fluke balls, vertical jigs). Not your typical freshwater jigs. That is where the ornament hook comes in handy. I meant to post this note earlier - but things have been a bit hectic.

Pete I do the fluke balls also, 1.5 and up to 8 oz., so I know what you mean. I have a lot of small jig hooks in the #1 range I don't use anymore, I just use these to hang the balls to the rack.... so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
