M-D Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I have learned so much from all the good folks on this board and thought i would share something I did today that worked really well I thought. I cannot recall seeing this posted before. I recall folks talking about keeping the mold and hooks warm to help make the pours go good. I was wondering how I was going to warm the hooks when I recalled my wife's candle warmer so I snatched it out of the house when she wasn't looking, put 1 to 2 dozen hooks on it and covered it with a pie pan to hold the heat in as it was breezy today. Worked like a charm! Hooks were just too warm to hold for long periods with my bare hands but with a cotton glove it was no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWJigs Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 DUDE!!! My wife has around 4 or 5 of them things ... GREAT IDEA BUD!!!! Something else to consider when you are powder painting, I went to a boat show in Huntsville, AL and this guy had a lot of powder paint there. A friend called me up and said I needed to go meet him. Ended up buying around 3 pounds or so of paint for dirt cheap. Not the point, but he showed me a way to heat the heads. He said he went to a thrift store and got a plug in skillet type thing for cheap, puts it on 350 and lays the heads out there and waits a while comes back and just goes to town. He showed me 1/2 - 1 ounce footballs, poisons and such. I haven't done it yet just because where I live there is hardly any room in our house with 2 kiddos runnin around lol. But seemed like a great idea. Yeah its 5am and I just plugged in my pot, and about to steal the candle warmer! GREAT IDEA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Prime directive of home tackle making : Thou shalt not use mommas stuff . When you guys get caught you may not see her for three days . That's how long it is going to take for the swelling to go out of your eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWJigs Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Needless to say, my wife caught me ....

So about 530ish that morning I stole her candle warmer ... I never knew she could get so mad. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
