Titanium weed guards

[Icehockeyplayer]

Just poured a bunch of v shaped titanium weed guards on jigs. Came out great. Problem is titanium is so sharp you get stuck a bunch during handling. Is there any kind of dip I can use to dip the ends in.

I have tried everything I know with bad results. Anybody else have this issue? Suggestions please.

Thanks in advance.

You can try Plasti-Dip, and turn it upside down with the cut end of the weedguard down. This way the Plasti-Dip will make a small teardrop on the end. I don't know how long it will stay on after it dries.

I don't know why I overlooked this. Just dipped in powder paint worked great. Thx.

Did you make the weedguards yourself?

If you made them yourself then my first thought was how did you cut them to length? What kind of cutting tool did you use that would leave a sharp edge? can a grind wheel cutter on a dremel or rotary tool work beter ,if at all to cut to length with out the angle bevel, sharp  edge of say a cutting plier, wire cutting plier?  Sorry I have never worked with titanium wire as its properties seem limiting to my lure crafting. ie spinner baits ,wire forming.  Burning the wire may be another side effect of grind cutting which may be undesirable. Just thinking out side the box a little. I thought people ordered titanium pre formed wire frames as bending and memory was an issue. Cutting would also be something to consider .
