WOW you did a fantastic job again definitely like this one. with COLOR of powder paint are you using on the head . it looks like Ruby but it has black in it.
Thisn's my fav of the three. I just don't use much red much unless its accents as blood traces. But the vein under the candy is really cool. Remember you having the candy orange and that'd be cool to see over the copper or gold vein as a head color. You tie really great jigs and I like their profile.
There actually isn't any red in it. It's a base coat of Gold Vein and a top coat of Candy Orange. I'm using Gold Vein more and more when a candy is going on top.Quote:

Snake, you may already know this but the trick I discovered (thanks to a buddy) about Gold Vein especially, is to heat the head a bit more than usual, dip and then pass over the heat source repeatedly till the veining becomes pronounced. Let the head cool some (some guys will cure the base coat then re-heat for the top coat) then dip in the candy. Heat to smooth and then cure. This has given me great results, especially with the Candy Orange & Candy Lime Green.Quote:
