    Default First pour


    Finally got all my supplies to start pouring. My first pour went pretty good after researching on Crappie.com, tons of good tips and advice on here. Poured 240 this afternoon. Now time to try the powder paint for the first time

    Be careful to keep the heads clean before painting.

    Oil residue will affect the painting process, especially if it is silicone-based. If you think they have been contaminated you can clean them in a jar of MEK. I would not suggest this with red hooks though as it will dissolve the outer coating which contains the red color.

    I put them in zip lock bags when I was done so I don't think they got anything of them. I'll keep that in mind though. Thanks crappiedreamer

    Nice work.
    Use lead specific containers for finished jigs and to store your lead. Especially if you have children or pets around!
    Wash your hands - often. Don't eat, drink, or smoke when you are pouring.

    I mentioned this because I noticed the work surface in your picture appeared to have some oil residue)
