joetheplumber Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Wasn't really sure where /who to ask about this but here it is. I purchased some texas rig worm weights that you can put a jig skirt on and I just need em painted black. I paint crankbaits but don't do any powder painting on lead. Can I just paint them black and dip them in a regular clear coat to do the job or is that not going to work? They don't have to be perfect as they are just for my personal use. Thanks ..........

piratefishing Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes that should work. U could buy just a small amt of powder paint but with your materials that should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Prager Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I would slide the weight on a paper clip so as not to clog the hole and brush the epoxy on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks piratefishing. Don't you just love our NC weather? LOL My daughter is in Toronto, and says it's still below freezing there, too. Here in SoCal I fished yesterday. We launched at 42 degrees, and it was 88 degrees when we got off the lake. Crazy weather! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetheplumber Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks for the tip Richard. Now if I can just find some smaller jig skirts that I like............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) I would slide the weight on a paper clip so as not to clog the hole and brush the epoxy on I tried that with some slip sinkers, and they were a bear to get off the wire after the top coat cured, because I had gotten some of the top coat on the bare wire. I had to carve it off with an exacto, before the weights would slide off. Edited March 17, 2014 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Mark.............I brushed it on with D2T..........yeah you're not suppose to epoxy the paper clip to the weight! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
