cheesehead Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Heat them with a torch. You will have to be carfull to not melt the lead but it should burn off the powder paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 robbor,try brake cleaner.You can buy it at the auto parts store.It's mean stuff so wear some gloves. If the bait has been cured,reheat it with a heat gun,when the powder starts to soften, toss it in the container of brake cleaner. Note:polyester powder will come off easier than epoxy powder. If it was not cured it will come off before a cat can lick his rear end! blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickerel Pete Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Use a heat source to soften, wipe with a rag to take most off while it is soft. Some Laquer thinner on a rag will take more off. Should be able to get enough off to repaint. Works if you only have a few to do. Garry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Robbor, use MEK. Put some in a can with your jigs and in a half hour come back and just peel the stuff off. George Reeves H&P Tackle Welch, OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbor Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I went looking in my dods garage for his mek but he did not know where it was. I dipped them in Acetone and it did the trick. It did not totally disolve it but it made it alot easier to wipe off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
