powder paint question

[PawPaw Gene]

I'm with snake river on this one. I never cure my jigs. First I don't fish where there are rocks or hard structure, only marsh grass. Second I don't have a cement floor in my boat (LOL). And third to get the shine and set the powder paint, I run the jig back through the heat to smooth it out. So why use powder paint, it quicker and less messy. By the time I do a dozen and hang to cool, I can start tying feathers on the first one.

I've found that there is as many different ways to do something as there is people to tell you how to do it... and if your way works for you more power to you!

Different people are lazy in different ways, I'm too lazy to wrap my jigs in feathers and chenille so I use a plastic grub... it works for me!

There is a certain knack to curing powder paint and it took me forever to find a way that would work for me... and some folks don't want to spend that much trial and error time.

I fish around a lot of rocks and for some reason I have a tendency to bang the side of my boat with my powder painted jigs, and it really irks the crap outta me when I bang my jig on the side of the boat and it chips my powder paint job and I have to retie.... so I cure the heck out of them.

You really should consider a cement floor in your boat PawPaw... it's what all the really cool kids are doing!

Here is the last I got from CSI on the cure INFO. I will leave it as a sticky for a little while so everyone can get this.

I find that the 10 minute thing doesn't work for me so will use the older time and temps for me. Like 15 minutes on most.

I find some of those times a little bit too long most of my times are at 15 minutes but thank you for posting this who would know better than the company.

Hey snake, why don't you throw them on a concrete floor, step on them then send a picture?
I guess red is baked. I figure I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

[guest01]

i say red was not baked, still looks thick around the hook eye but the real test is to throw it up against a bridge or dock
