powder paint question

[snake River]

here is a little trick where you guys did do not put your jigs in the oven for caring.sometimes after I power paint my jigs I will put a clear coat of vinyl paint over the power paint it will give a interesting effect because vinyl paint will burn power paint .will cause it to blame in effect if you are using two colors. But the finished with 3-D eyes is fantastic. And it is durable will not crack with the vinyl clearcoat. Tricks of the trade we have worked with both paints quite a bit so you may give it a try I ensure that you will like it after you've tried it please remember this is more time-consuming than you probably want to do. But the above makes any interesting looking jig. We will post some pictures when I get time.

Well I cure mine as I don't want them to chip in my box before ever used. Also there are a lot of ways to get around this, but they take as much if not more time to do. You can just coat with nail polish, but a few colors don't take this well and you would need to clear vinyl them, but that drying enough to tie is not faster than 15 minutes in the oven.
I have too many jigs in my boxes and I understand that, but some have been in there for 4 years now and if they had not been cured they would be chipped with lots of tiny paint pieces in the compartment of the box.

I am curing mine and don't plan on changing that and it's not that big of a deal. I set up painting next to the kitchen and after I get enough painted I put them in the toaster oven and keep painting. As each oven load gets done I put in the next batch, so after all the painting and curing usually I only have one cure to wait on to completely finish painting and curing. So the pretty much extra 15 minutes and over all time away from painting to load the oven may go out to a whole 30 minutes and that is not enough time to keep me from curing my paint.

There are a good many times out on the lake I may give away a jig to some fisherman I don't know and I don't want his to chip either and if all mine are cured I don't need worry about my work looking like it's not good because the darn paint chipped off. So what do you guys that sell jigs and give them away on the water do to make sure you don't give out a jig that the paint will chip off? Why need to worry about that?

Just my take and no need for anyone to do as I do or not, but do what is best for you. You know part of my learned thinking is from my dad and one of his sayings that I heard more than one time is this "any job worth doing is worth doing well" and I try to follow this kind of thinking.

we use a word processor sometimes I don't proof read before I post and it comes out like Chinese:Dwhat I meant to say you wouldn't want to crack my pretty jig.

you are exactly right skip we do not pass out jigs that have not been put in the oven or convert with vinyl paint over the power paint. It is very important to me that a person using my jigs will be pleased and I definitely do not want them to fall apart. I do stand behind my jigs 100% .

"any job worth doing is worth doing well"

I live my life by that rule!

I think the main thing that keeps people from curing their PP is that they apply too much paint and when they cure they have dripping problems and say "to heck with that"!

I had terrible dripping problems when I first started out, but kept working with it and worked through the problem... which brings me to another rule of my life "never give up!"

GCD both of them say a lot about a person in my way of thinking.
