Excellent video Eric. Do you always use white as a base coat even when you want to make other solid colors? Thanks for showing how you get multiple colors on the head with one heating. Do you ever get paint in the jig eyes after hanging and baking them in the oven? I need to give the torch a try. That was so quick & you didn't even have to rotate the jig when heating it. Well done.
Fantastic informative video on painting jigs!! Where did you get your unpainted hatchet head jigs? Thanks Eric for sharing the jig painting video, it was very helpful and appreciated!!
Great video thanks for your help I’m loving s as lol the good teaching I’d like to get the heads already poured where is a good place to get those from
Good video and very informative. I really like the tip to keep the eyes clear of paint by using the hemostats. I have been baking mine at 400-420, do you think that’s too hot?
G'day from Australia mate I like your painting video..I am surprised how you cure your heads hanging upside down. Don't you have problems with paint dripping and causing little noses on ya heads? I use heat magnets glued to a bit of steel angle bar that way i can stand my jigs head up...The magnets will take heat up to 200°celsius before corrupting...I know because i have corrupted them before. I now run at 175°celsius for ten mins..I dont know what that is in your Fahrenheit. If i was using automotive paints which i used to do for 15 yrs whereby i would paint a epoxy on the lead first to make my paint stick on the first coat which was usually white colour. That would make the auto colours pop out with 2 part epoxy clear being the finishing coats. However i have noticed since powder painting i do not need to follow the old routine of preparing my heads as powder sticks well when heated and the paint pops really well without a white undercoat. Anyway i have enjoyed your presentation and as usual your a gold mine of information...Keep up the great work Eric. Best Regards B.J.sCustom Baits Australia.
What are you using for a filter on your PVC powder cups? The best thing I found for consistency and air distribution is the paper from a small brown paper bag.
Have had this issue too. #1, don't heat them as much, then you won't get as thick of a coat, less likely to drip. #2, make or buy a clamp rack to hold them upright instead of hanging by the hook. That way if the paint does run, it'll be down the hook where you can just break it off or tie over it. And some colors just run more. Chartreuse is a very runny color for me.
@ericmasseyjigco I also wanna get the uv stuff you have used but does any random uv light work for that. I saw it was almost $30.00. What would you use for a cement to cover the head if you didn't have the uv stuff l?
@ericmasseyjigco thanks for the quick replies. I'm getting all my stuff to tie crappie jigs. I got about 400 dollars wrapped up in it so far. I'm planning to slowly build up will a arsenal of things.

I totally agree with you that all the colors don’t coat the same. Just need time and experience to figure it out. Tight Lines Eric

You can change base coat colors sometimes yes there’s some paint in the eyes comes out very easily
Where do you buy your jig heads from? I dont believe Jason sells the wedge heads. Also when you tie what brand of vise do you use? Great videos!
Wedge heads came from Jay Terry on Facebook and I use peak rotary vice

Do you bake/cure white base coat before dipping another color??
Nope cure when all is done
Good video and very informative. I really like the tip to keep the eyes clear of paint by using the hemostats. I have been baking mine at 400-420, do you think that’s too hot?
350 for 20 minutes is all you need.
Yea little too hot risk melting lead but if it’s working don’t fix it
Eric,
Is the air tumbler required. I have been just dipping the jigs in one of 3 colors. White, black, or silver. Than i sprinkle with paint brushes

Do think it’s necessary to heat treat powder painted heads anymore if use uv resin on them after tying?
Most I don’t unless the paint needs to blend more
Also, had a question do you have to build your own gadget to fluff your paint or is that something you can buy from a retailer?
You can buy them plenty of videos on how to build them
Do you store the cups with powder in them with a cover on the bottom as well as the top?
Yes I do
When you were filling a big order or tying for inventory do you just tie one at a time or set up two or more vises?
One at a time
Also would sallg hard as Nails for for a clear coat over the head?
Can this work on steel spoons and how durable is the paint

How do you prep your jigs before coating?
What's the best strength of thread? Mine keeps breaking with just a little pressure.

Thanks
Thanks Eric!
The problem im having with pro tec is mine is starting to clump up and is very hard to keep in powder form? do you have any sugestions for this
I’ve never had mine clump and stay that way sometimes I use fluid bed if that don’t get it back it might be bad
I use a bodkin and stir mine up.
Where did you find your torch with the ignition/ igniter on it?
Harbor freight
Thanks 😊
Where did you get the aerator set up?
Tjs tackle I think I’ve had it for quite awhile
Shouldn't you have ventilation?
No
Im having the problem when I take them out of the oven they have horns on them where the paint dripped thank you looking for a solution

Do mold your own pill head

Tell him I sent you please
How do I cure them in the oven?
@@EA.Outdoor.Adventures toaster over paint bake paint on 300 at 10-15 mins
@@EA.Outdoor.Adventures you can try it sometimes it’ll cause chemical reaction with powder paint
Also what rack so you use to hang them on when you do that

Copy paper works better than coffee filters.
Thanks! I’m much faster one at a time than two or more
