bucketmouth69 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just wondering if anybody has tried powder coating bladed jig heads ? I am trying to figure out how to do so and keep hook eye clean of paint. Of course blade not attached just hook and head Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippinfool Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Grab it by the hook eye while painting. Clean off any paint in the hook eye before curing. Once the blade is on move it around the hook eye it is almost self cleaning. The inside edges of the blade are sharp and will clean up quick.

Kdog Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Had a suggestion from another site that I am gonna try next time I have a run of pony heads. Suggestion was teflon thread sealing tape. Wrap it and heat then coat, easily removed after. My Go to method has always been hold the hook eye with forceps after heating to prevent pc build on forceps, dip swivel in water to quick cool, then dip in PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I use cheap needle nose pliers to hold the line tie when I'm dipping in the fluid bed. They have smooth jaws from use, and have the eye shape from previous powder paint buildup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketmouth69 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks guys for your suggestions ! I actually tried Kdog's Teflon tape suggestion and it worked beautifully ! Just wrapped the eye, heated , dipped in fluid bed and waited till it hardened came off as clean as if it was store bought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
