    Default OK!!! Another newbie question


    Does anyone cure there Powder Painted Jigs with the head up? I don't care if the excess is on the shank, but I don't want to ruin a head because I used too much paint and get the nipple jig. If so, how do you do it? What do you use to hold the jigs?

    I have done that, but you just need to paint enough so you know how long in what heat and dip for how long and how. You will learn to paint them without fear that they will drip. Have not had a jig head drip in almost 4 years now I think. It helps too if you use a fluid bed.

    alot of us use a fluid bed so it helps with the drip problem(not sure if you use one) and like skip said practice on how long to heat head and a quick swish and it should end the drips but if you still have problems I know someone here uses xmas tree ornament hooks and puts them threw the eye of jig so he can hang them that way. Hope it helps
