    Default Brushing on PP while hot


    Is there a paint brush that you can use to brush on PP while the jig head is hot? Every brush I have tried has either melted or burnt when it touches the head. Not to mention the PP sticks to it.

    If there isn't one, has anyone ever tried high temp tape to make perfect stripes and shapes on a jig? I wish I was good enough to make the lines and shapes FF does with PP but I have yet to figure that out.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    No there isn't a paint brush that I know of that won't burn or get stuck to the powder paint with that high of a concentration of heat. The paint brush method is mainly used to sprinkle on powder paint in multiple colors to get an effect you want.

    As far as tape go, I have used high temp tape for many things and it will not give you clean lines, because the tape has to stick to the jig. As soon as you heat the jig with the tape on, the tape un-adheres because the high temperature of heat. There are other ways to achieve lines and color blends. Permnent markers, vinyl tape, and electrical tape. To name a few.

    So there is really no way to lines and such with PP? I really hate to PP a jig and then paint them with and then clear coat them. Is why I use and prefer powder paint, get the paint on then cure and done.
