    Default Quick question on jig eyes didn't want to hijack another thread.


    I have the powder paint and some unfinished heads. Acrylic paint for eyes and a small toaster oven to bake. Do you paint the jig eyes on BEFORE or AFTER you bake at 350 for 25 min?

    we put the eyes on after we put them in the toaster oven. Otherwise, the vinyl paint would melt after we put the eyes on we usually put a clearcoat of vinyl over that the eyes it will make the eyes stand out.
