Jig Eyes

Skip, very nice!
What type of clear vinyl do you use?

Thanks,

I have a small jar of Component Systems (same people that make Pro-Tec)clear and also bought a pint can, but as of this time have not needed to get into the can yet. You can also get it I think in the little 4 Oz. Jars. I really like how it is over the Chartreuse and keep the color vivid. I hate what Sally Henson's Hard as Nails does to that color, it makes it more yellow looking and not even close to what is really is. I had to thin my small jar for the first time after doing these jigs. We will see how that does soon.

One thing when using the vinyl, it take longer to really dry than nail polish. it will dry to touch pretty fast, but to cure and dry all the way through they need sit over night or for a day. However the vinyl is said to be more durable than the powder paint on their web site so this should make the finish over the eyes really good.

I bought my large Pint can from the Mfg, but also think you can get the clear in a 4 Oz. size at Jann's and maybe Barlow's. Here is a link to Janns Vinyl and I looked they do have clear.

Okay checked Barlow's and they have the small jar ...
