Powder Paint Patterns ??

[azslabber]

I've been playing the last couple of days on some 2 1/2 oz. "H" jigs for some patterns.I decided to wait until the Columbia water gets here,lol.Now I have some jigs to get sandblasted.

What in the heck would you be doing with 2 1/2 oz Style H jigs in Arizona? Must be some HUGE crappie there :D Maybe stripers?

I keep the East Coast supplied with thier striper baits,lol.I have 1 lake here that is full of stripers,they want them out.It's fun to chuck around baits that are as big as most of the fish there.

I imagine that you could.But with being so small would be a real pain,lol.I'm trying to figure out a way to make stripes and stuff that are thick and look good.

I could not figure it out either. I just heat up the jigs for five minutes, put on a white base coat, bake five minutes then add the second top coat of a differing color(s). Bake the jigs 17 minutes at 360 degrees in the toaster oven.

When they are dry I will use needles and drill bits to add eyes and stripes.

However you do it Ship, it's the right way. You have some great paint jobs.

Crappiedoc it worked but sometimes i would get a bubble in the paint. Maybe i wasnt curing it right cuz i dang sure didnt break the 400 mark!

RonDon- I tried to dissolve some paint in MEK, but I haven't yet given it a try. Do you think it could be sprayed?


azslabber - Let us know how the powder water works. I should get mine this week. They delayed shipping it because of the heat.
