Been using the Pro-Tech powder glow paint for awhile , is there another brand out there that glows longer ? Anybody have a source for glow chenile ?

Fixing to try the Pro Tec Glow Overcoat. I have 2 fluid beds now. What is the best method or time to apply it? I'm going to do Chart then touch the bottom of the jig to red. I also will put 2 color eyes on these.

Pro-Tec does have a Super Glow line of powder powder paint. This paint will glow for 8 to 10 hours, but only if charged with natural sunlight or a black light for 30 minutes.

If you are going to apply a glow over coat to a jig, put all of the colors on the jig first and then dip the jig in the glow overcoat. Depending on the type of eyes you are putting on the jig, dip the jig in the chartreuse first, flip it over and using a small craft paint brush, pick up some red paint with the brush and then tap the brush over the bottom of the jig to allow the paint to fall on the jig. Then paint the eyes on the jig. If using stick on eyes, apply them last after you cured the jigs. Once the eyes are painted on, carefully heat the jig over a heat gun being careful not to burn the paint, and then dip the entire jig in the glow overcoat. Finally cure the paint at a little lower temperature for a little longer since you will have multiple coats of paint on the jig. Make sure to put all colors and overcoats on the jig before curing. You can see videos at tjstackle.com for all the different methods of applying powder paint, including the bush method, airbrush and fluid beds.

I started using the glow overcoat about 2yrs ago. It was an older jar somebody gave to me, had the older Pro-Tec label but it still charged up. I've become very fond of that paint, as well as some liquid fluoro's I use. They flat out CATCH fish, the stuff works. Fish Vision is another brand I'm going to give a shot. Skip had a nice post a while back about both of these paints, maybe somebody will pull it back up. I've had real good results using pearl white as a base coat for both styles of paints. It gives it a silky sheen and makes the glow pop like a light. It really catches fish and fisherman too.

I've already cured my painted jig heads. Can I still do the Glo-Overcoat?

YOu can use the UV overcoat on them. That will go a long ways for fish in the water, probably farther than glow stuff! It's better to powder paint them at the same time powder paint the clear UV stuff! I have both and use both. I don't use them on my Glow jigs as that is totally fidderent and i don't use paint on my glow jigs as I make my own stuff for them and they glow for a very long time and very bright.

Glow chenille I have seen is not so great, nothing like what I make.

I just changed my Sig to show you my Glow Jigs!

I have some white powder paint, glo-overcoat, and 2 fluid beds. I'm fixing to go out and do a few and see if I can apply this glo right. I plan on dipping in the white hitting the heat for a few seconds and then hit the glo. I hope it turns out.
