    Are you asking how many jigs a certain sized container will cover?

    Don't know but I have a jar of yellow Chartruse that's probably painted 1000 or more and still got plenty left. Since I just do them for myself I have colors I'll never use up.

    Floro Pink or Orange or both. Once you get started it will be hard to not buy some more.

    I have found the chartuse and the orange is my number one color, and I have painted over a thousand 1/16 and 1/8 and still have over half a bottle left...... I have every color they make, and do some pink once inawhile...... last a long time, some I bought back when they were $3.99 ea and still nice and dry and ready to use... black,white, green, blue,red..... maybe even a color I have forgot, but never used some of them yet....and I never bake my finish, figure I might lose it before it comes off..... and use a heat gun to heat my jig to dip, but keep jar close so lead doesn't cool off before dipping......

    I think anyone's best guess is "a bunch" I don't make as many jig heads as some of the others, I doubt I've made 2000 yet, but of all the colors I use, I've barely made a dent in the jars of colors I have used with a fluid bed.

    I only fish on days of the week that end with
    a "Y" ...and then, only if it's raining or not.
