Those look good how do you keep paint out of the line tie and keep the rollers working.

Yellowjacket Now those look really good. You have really come a long ways since your first jigs. Think that I told you back then that it was patience and practice. You have done both. Keep up the good work. I am proud of you and your efforts. The good part is you will only get better as time goes on. Us old guys won't be around for ever and you young ones got to take over and now do the heavy lifting. WE are leaving the hobby in good hands.

All the best

I have explained how I use tooth picks when I paint to clean the eye, some cover that with their hemostats, but I don't care for cleaning the hemo's my self so use the wood toothpicks. As for the swivel you need to take small pieces of tin foil so they don't get painted and use it's a pain to do. Then after painting them you better take the foil off before you cure.

X2 with Skip on the tin foil over the swivel - I usually sit and watch the tube and put tin foil over all the swivels that way when I'm ready to powder paint that part is all done.

I know most people tell you that once you dip your jig it needs to be shiny like a finished head, but I've increased my output by really trying to have them with a light coat of powder on them. Then X2 with Skip, pull the tin foil off, and using a small piece of paper towel just wipe the powder off the eye. Then cure them.

I did about 200 jigs the other night and only had 6 that came out with the little paint nipple on the tip and those were on ball heads and minnow heads, none on the ponys or horse heads. All the eyes were perfectly clear.

One question, what is that loos stuff ( looks like thread) on the one on the left in both pics?
