Hey guys, can someone help me? I remember about a year or so there was someone who made some marble jigs. If I remember correctly they were tube jigs with a marble style of paint. Anybody recall the thread? For the life of my I can't find it.
Thanks for any help,
NightProwler
I posted this marabou one a while back

I think this was the thread but I can't get the pics to come up.

Stump Hunter the pictures may have been moved from their spot on the picture storage they were using and if they moved them then they are not going to show up.
After seeing that I did some my self, but don't sell them. I used a eye dropper to add the extra color right after taking it out of the powder paint first color.
It can make some really nice looking jig heads, but also some don't come out like I wanted them to, but that was mostly not being good at using the eye dropper. I have not done any since, but also wouldn't say I wont do more. I think I have one pictured on my site.
Yes here it is, but they didn't all come out like this and some I didn't care for much and still have not tied them...

I remember your jig Skip, it looks great.
I play around with a few jigs for myself with adding colors but it is hard to get them to all look the same at least for me. ;).
I learned (or I am learning) to add the colors so I could add something the the jig swap jigs. There are some great jigs tied for these swaps.
Thanks Skip for posting the pic again.:)
Well they don't all come out like that, LOL! Here are a few others I did back then and only a few other that I did were tied so far. I have not really been moved to do a lot.

a year ago or so I posted on marbling jig heads for and inserting inside a plastic skirts it was quite a hit with ship and a few other guys on here. It was brought to my attention with a pm from night prowler so I went ahead and made a couple to show you what I have done with vinyl paint. We simply put they jig heads in a cordless drill and dip them in paint and spawn it off. Then take a drop of whatever other. color you would like to use and spin it and make a couple drops on the jig head here is a picture to show you what it looks like it's not like powder paint dusting the holdup powder paint dusting in the above pictures from skip in the other members are fantastic but this is a different way that you can accomplish marbling.

Snake that looks awesome....wonder if it would work with powder,,
Okay, I'm slow. Can someone explain how you're using the eye dropper and powder paint to do this? Sounds like it's gonna be a freakin' mess, but I've got some 2-tone head ideas that would be fun to try.
Yeah it's can be a bit messy so need a good catcher for the excess. You also need an eye dropper for each color you want to use or that is what I did, bought a box of them. I don't want to even try cleaning an eye dropper so all of mine still show color.Quote:

You may want to practice the puff one or two time first to see what happens.
Really as long as you have something behind where you puff it will catch the excess and it's not as bad as you may think and if you have something you can take and put back what is there you don't have to lose it.

I really don't know. And unless you've got powder hot so it would run it might just work. If we get time I will give it a try.Quote:

The marabou jig I posted earlier in this post is with Powder. You have to drizzle it very lightly while the lead is hot for it to work right. Pretty much trial and error. Reheat after applied for a few seconds and you're good to go.Quote:

I hope that we can continue to work with this hope to see more pictures of some of your work and skips I believe they may even have different powers that may work little bit different. I know that for a fact that lots of different powders take different heats to put them on it is a base coat some it does not take very much. Heat but I think if we continue to work with the different stuff we will find out which ones are best for doing marbling work . I also mentioned to skip don't know if you guys have tried cut out over the jig head and dust to put a pattern we will have to mess with that one to.Quote:

Might have to start playing with the powder LOL I tried a few and they didn't come out as well as I wanted but it's fun to play with.
Quality salt or pepper shakers with small holes work well. Glass with metal lids seemed to work best for me because plastic would get staticy and clog up too often. Can't find really good ones with small enough holes though so I only have a tiny one I use for black, when I can find the darn thing. When I find the right ones again I will have them for every color. Easy to use and don't have to worry about changing colors.
you will find the small hole salt-and-pepper shakers in dollar stores or dime stores. We have no problem here. Also you may want to check out your junk stores. They do have quite a few old ones. Sometimes also you can make your own with little jars by drilling little holes in the lid.Quote:
