Hey, I just got some different colors of powder paint. I know you heat the jigs head to melt it on. But I also got a glow top coat? How do you use this? How do you get the jigs hot enough for it to melt without messing up the color?
Thanks

I heat mine up, dip in color then right into glo. If you do have to reheat I just pass it over heat at a distance just enough to get it to pickup the glo.
Make sure the paint is well fluffed if not using a fluid bed. On two color or type options I use 2 fluid beds. And yes dip in one and then right into the second one! Not really familiar with the Glow top coat though?

I do a ton of playing around for my business and I did some testing on the glow top coat last spring when making some test colors for this years sales. I did not care for the glow top coat that much. Although it looks like it would be a clear coat that goes on overtop of the original coat, it actually creates a milky finish. What I "hoped" would be a bait that had it's normal color (say blue) and then glow as needed. What I ended up with was a vomit jig that really didn't look like anything. And the glow... was for the most part green!
It does work okay if you mix it directly with another color though. I much prefer glow colors in the actual color (glow hot pink, glow chartreuse, glow orange, etc...)
If however you are trying to achieve what I was thinking above, a better option might be to paint your jig in the original color and then go with something like "UV blast" as a top coat. This, in theory, will give you a glow type effect when the jig gets down further than the max amount of light is penetrating.
Hey if your wanting Glow jigs, make some like I make...

After over 10 years of keeping this a secret I told last year in a post here. Many tried to figure it out, but none did and many got mad at me because I wouldn't tell, lol! Some people just didn't understand trade secret, lol! Since I don't do a lot any more by choice, I decided to let guys know. Search for my post How to Make My Glow Jigs. It's not the light as I just held these under my table without turning the over head light off! These are so bright when charged well you need to let them wait just a little to take a good picture or they are too bright, lol! These are not for everyone as far as making them as it's not usual at all!Quote:
