Hey fellow fisher people. I've been away from the website for awhile and from fishing for awhile . Trying to get started again and going to try to do some powder coating. I was wondering if anybody remembers awhile back of a guy posting on here about making some fluid beds and using a different type of membrane other than a piece of brown paper bag? Any information would be great . Thanks and blessed Thanksgiving to everyone.
Fluid Beds - TJ's Tackle
This is where I got my cups from. They work great. The rest I built myself.

Coffee filter works great for me

Like Tev8514 said. Build your own base and just order you some cups from tj’s taclke. His have the commercial filter material built in and work better than any of the others I have tried. I hated the aggravation of trying to get cups to seal with other materials and always run the risk of poking a hole through it and having a mess.
Chamois material works great for me. Search the painting section under the jig making forum

Wow, thanks guys. Got a couple of days vacation coming up. Gonna do some research on this info and get something going here . I've got my lead melting pot , ingots, and moids . Just need to get the paint , hooks, and fluid beds and I'm a jig making fool. LOL Hope it's that easy. I'll let y'all know. Have a great Thanksgiving , be safe , and thanks again for the info.
All great info here. I’d suggest skipping the fluid bed and just dip into the fluffed up jars.
But I do know what membrane you’re speaking of and know I have a small sheet somewhere around here. Maybe attic. I will look for you. A friend sent it many years ago. Just more trouble than it’s worth if you ask me.
Can do all you need within the jars. And create your own custom colors with extra jars.
This is a custom paint I came up with for a buddy who loves Bobby Garland blue thunder jigs

Beautiful setup Crappie Dreamer but way too time consuming for my work/fish/family situation. I have over a thousand jars of paint, most that’ll never see the light of day.
Wanna buy em [emoji51]
Just doesn’t make sense for me.
The custom cups and big work stations are suited for guys selling to fisherman in quantity.…. Gluck with it.

If that’s what you’re looking for mr gadget, it’s only a sheet but it’s yours if ya want it. Just don’t think ya need it. Might make ... 6 cups, maybe 7 depending on your hardware.
Can pm an address

Love the color of that jig. T hanks for the info.
Man, You got a lot going on here. Like the set up, just didn't plan on going that far with all the colors. That may change though the further I get into making jig heads. Thanks for the info.
I didn’t plan on going that far either! I started out with only 4 colors and buying my bare jigs from someone else.
Be careful... this fun hobby can become very addicting!
