Powder paint question

[skiptomylu]

I do not have too much knowledge on using powder paint but I tried it in the past. One of the questions I have about powder paint. When you are painting fluorescent do you use a undercoat . The other question I had do you use clear coat. And how many of you guys mix powder paint. Also was wondering how many of you use a heat gun.

Hi Bob,
Hey I use an alcohol lamp for heat. Don't need clear coat and only time I use a clear over is when I paint on eyes with Acrylic or if I am putting clear over Fl Yellow or Chart I use clear Vinyl because the Sally Henson's will discolor the paint on the two colors I mentioned.

I also use a fluid bed that I bought, some make them, but I have never found that works as well for me.

Just get you count down based on head size for what kind of heat you use and dip them. I also use a tooth pick to help get paint out of the eye if need be. I uses a hot bodkin if paint is filling the eye after curing it in the oven.

to get different colors. Pink and Yellow in a nice color, almost Orange. one thing I do is I donxt mix them real good. That way when I dip into the powder, I get multi colored jigs. neat looking to have a jig that's got char and red in them. On keeping the hook eye clean, i use a paper clip and run it through the eye and it gives me more control of the jig cause I've not only got ahold of the hook but also with the eye since the clip is through it
