I use a heat gun and I use fish tank air hose that is 1/16" small in side the hose.I cut the hose at 3/4" length,just remember heat the jig not the hose and by using a 1 2 count then dip and let cool.Then remove ,clean and bake and if the paint fills in the eye of the hook,use a small wire like a paper clip.Heat the tip of the wire red hot and it will clear the eye openning.............woody
