What can I say, I'm an addict. Modded another weedless mold to an underspin. This time I used the same wire insert that you would use on the smaller Herring head mold. Also started painting my fiberguards. Very tricky stuff here. Enjoy.

Travis, have you seen those weed guard protectors they make for heating and painting? Saw them in Do-It catalogue or Barlow's some place like that.
Yes I have but never have purchased them. I always forget too for some reason. I'm using a trick DStreet told me about. I drilled out a dowel rod and place over the fiberguard when heating head. I only heat the bottom of head. Still need to be real careful as you'll easily melt the guard right off in a blink of an eye. I under heat the head just enough to hold powder on head and not melt fibers and then dip in paint extra long to put extra paint on head. I then bake head for 20 minutes at 220 and it doesn't melt fiber and cures paint to head. Some fibers will want to fray. I simply pull all heads out one at a time and twist fibers together and throw in a cup of water.
Looks great!!
Redge my newest technique I told you about didn't work. :(
Nip it sounded like a great idea. I guess that's why we are experimenting.
Nice work.
Nice mod Doc.Really enjoy your post and pic's.Need a mod sticky "jigtying/luremaking" how to on Modifying jig mold's.
Great looking heads mister, nice work.
Nice jigs. Curious why you do not use the Teflon pin method and glue the weed guards in.
I've never tried the pin method as I've yet to find one this small except through that one site that required a tax ID # to purchase or something of this nature. I've tried the nail method but wasn't too satisfied it.
