How do you get a 1/8 or smaller jig head not to become the size of a much larger jig when painting with vinyl? I used it about 8 years ago and could never get the head of a smaller jig to ever turn out right let alone round. I know it sounds wrong but sometimes a the size of jig head seems to make a huge difference for me and how many fish I catch.

Is there a trick to using it that I am missing to make a really thin coat or is it just the nature of the best that you will have a larger jig head after you have put your 2 coats on? This is the main reason I switched to powder paint because it adds such a miniscule amount ot the diameter of the jig head.

Also, how long can you detect even the slightest odor from it after dried?
