KenMC Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Does anyone have any techniques to put eyes on jigs using powder paint? I am looking to use two different colors for eyes. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Take the size jig you want to put eyes on to the hardware store and look at nails. Match the nail head size to the size eye you want to do, then look at a smaller head for the pupil part and you're good to go. Put some powder in a shallow bowl, and moisten the nail head slightly with some spit or a little water and wipe off the excess. Push the nail head down into the powder hard, this will make sure the powder packs onto the entire surface of the nail head. Tap the nail lightly on the side of the bowl to shake off the loose powder, then heat your jig and touch the nail head to where you want your eye. It takes a little practice but it's the best way I've found to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
