cadman Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Welcome to Tackle Underground and your 1st thread. I've been doing this a long time and if you are using powder paint, then your option #1 definitely, no matter what jig you pour with any weedguard. I have never had any luck with option #2 as I don't believe you can get a good paint job on the jig that way, and definitley not when you are trying to do multi-color powder painting. You will get other replies here as well. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basscandy92040 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I agree. Saw some info on here about teflon inserts when power painting....huge time saver vs hoging out hole with 1/8 drill bit after baking and chipping the outside edge of hole..... Welcome aboard.

Oldfart9999 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 It makes it much easier to tie a jig when you glue the guard in after painting and tying. Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
