Can't remember the member, but I read that he just dipped the swivel in water. Hear a sizzle! Then dip in the paint.
I don't have a fluid bed. I dip straight into the jar. Took a couple try's, but it works like a champ :cheers2

First time ever adding eyes. They ain't perfect, but these Ol dogs will Hunt!
I am pretty sure Dr Nip made the water dipping suggestion.
Yours look great!

Those will do fine, good job. Got to pay attention to the swivels, I have a few solid ones.
I can’t take all the credit JW taught me this years ago. After I dip in water I twist swivel to make sure it turns freely at both ends.
Thanks, didn't check the swivels :(Quote:

Nice jigs!
Ahh! Well I didn't bake these, just slapped some Sally Hansen on them.Quote:

I tried that, but couldn't get comfortable doing it even though it worked and maybe the Roadrunner head is harder to do, not sure about that though! I still use the tin foil, but this is not why I replied to this. I wanted to tell you to get a fluid bed, makes things so much easier! Also if you don't bake them your gonna find they chip easy I think.
Skip
Fluid bed and baking agree.

Got a few goodies in today. That Lure & Jig finish makes that paint Bling!
That is how I paint mine and it works great. Thanks for the tips.
I am wondering how you keep the water from effecting your paint in your fluid bed?
Minimal water is in the swivel due to the heat of it. I always tap the jig one time to get any excess water off.
Good work, nice looking heads :)
