Tuff-Tackle Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I use 1/4" masking tape...use just enough to make two or three wraps around the eye...then base, paint and clear. After it dries run a dull pocket knife around the tape edge and pull. The taping takes a little time but it's worth it. I clearcoat with Devcon and have done this with screw eyes, stainless and brass hangers without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Ditto on the dremmel with the wire brush. Works great, easy to control, nice clean lines when finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apb Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Take the plugs fishing, the fish will remove the paint/clear from the hook hangers pretty quick Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterMusky Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'm new to building, but I don't put the hook hangers on until after painting just before clear coating and I don't mind getting clear on the hangers just seals the holes better.

MonsterMusky Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I just realized your probably talking about through wire construction, forget my last post if that's the case, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I've seen a little battery operated sodering gun used for fixing plastic worms that supposed too clean out eye screws too.I personally use a old set of split ring pliers..The notch fits well into the eye screws..give a squeeze,and rotate back and forth a couple times,and its clean..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
