Icehouse what did you do to get that effect those are slick!
Ok, I used info from Dr Nip video and info from JungleJim in this thread, but I wasn’t getting the looks that they were getting. So, I decided it’s time to either waste some jigs or figure out something.
1) heat the jig ( based on weight, different times)
2) dip in main color ( small ones were white, multi color was hot pink.
3) on multi color jig, I dipped top of jig in green chartreuse
4) dip once in Clear coat ( Dr Nip uses from video)
5) put back on heat for 5 count. I use a heat gun
6) dip in clear coat a 2nd time
7) dip in crinkle paint.
As suggested by Jim, I let my toaster oven cool down to around 150-200. Put my jigs on my homemade holder and placed them in the oven. Turned on heat element and when I reach’s 350, I set my timer for 15 mins.
So far, it’s working great. Only color I’m still having problems with is red! I’ll figure something out on that, hopefully.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
CDC is great!

There is, in my opinion, a bit of difference that has not been mentioned in any video or thread on the internet. I'm sure it plays into the equation somehow, and that is Humidity. The more moisture in the air would effect the powder paint...
Good stuff! I like using my heat gun for tearing effect as I can control the tears how I like. Letting oven do it and you never know what you’ll get. Also a note, might be the clear you are using. That prismatic powder clear I use is different than protec. Seems fluffier and you get a shinier coat.
I am using the prismatic clear you that mentioned in your video.Quote:

Are you heating jig to tear paint while it is still warm or did you let the jig cool. When you let the jig cool, I found it won’t tear as much.Quote:
