I am ready to attempt pouring my own jigs...1/32 and 1/16 to start...any tips or hints on what to avoid and/or to do while poring to get a good mold.

I am using a Lee production pot and a Do-It mold.

Also what is the best type of paint to use to color a jig? I catch alot on just the plain leadheads you get from BPS...but I am partial to orange, yellow and red jigheads at times.
Is it easier to paint by hand or some type of dipping method?
