How to powder paint perfect jig heads every time!!!

[@user-mp5lg8kf1s]

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

[@ericmasseyjigco]

They should but they don’t 🤔

[@lostviking540]

Another great informative video! Keep em coming

[@bryanmasters5423]

Awesome video Eric! Thanks for all the tips and info. Appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos!

[@slammingjack2242]

That help me out alot! Thank you.

[@jeffduncan2942]

Man your blended paints are 🔥

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Thank ya Jeff

[@robertchadwick1552]

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.

[@ericmasseyjigco]

You can change base coat colors sometimes yes there’s some paint in the eyes comes out very easily

[@jamesphillips2216]

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!

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Wedge heads came from Jay Terry on Facebook and I use peak rotary vice

Thanks Eric!

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?

[@martyure]

350 for 20 minutes is all you need.

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Yea little too hot risk melting lead but if it’s working don’t fix it

[@brianbochow]

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.

[@lostviking540]

Do you bake/cure white base coat before dipping another color??

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Nope cure when all is done

[@johndurfee5925]

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

[@user-lq6iq2xd9n]

Copy paper works better than coffee filters.

[@traviswilliams5201]

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?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

You can buy them plenty of videos on how to build them

[@dennissampson7502]

Do you store the cups with powder in them with a cover on the bottom as well as the top?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Yes I do

[@axeman33333]

Do think it’s necessary to heat treat powder painted heads anymore if use uv resin on them after tying?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Most I don’t unless the paint needs to blend more

[@draggintailzfishing828]

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

[@ericmasseyjigco]

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

[@ethanchurchill2946]

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.

[@IntuitiveUniversity]

Shouldn't you have ventilation?

[@axeman33333]

No

[@mikewirt9071]

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?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

One at a time

[@josephauld6565]

What's the best strength of thread? Mine keeps breaking with just a little pressure.

What is Jason's ebay store name?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Jason’s Tackle Tell him I sent you please

[@matthewdye2519]

Can this work on steel spoons and how durable is the paint

[@bradz4363]

How do you prep your jigs before coating?

[@feelmeup9696]

Do mold your own pill head Where can I get a 1/32 pill head mold

[@richardkunz9004]

Where did you find your torch with the ignition/ igniter on it?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Harbor freight

[@richardkunz9004]

Thanks 😊

[@benitogarcia6381]

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

[@SecondFloorOutdoors-gj8dt]

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.

[@melanietiedeman6774]

Where did you get the aerator set up?

[@ericmasseyjigco]

Tjs tackle I think I’ve had it for quite awhile

[@mikewirt9071]

Thanks! I’m much faster one at a time than two or more
