rgfixit is right on the money! You can also use Protec powder paints as another option? They are applied by heating your jig to "HOT" not melting. Proceed by dipping them in the powder and heating them again, (this is to seal the final product.) In less than 2 minutes it's ready to fish! Use either a propane torch or an oven to apply these powder paints. You could probably use a bic lighter in a pinch. The finished product is hard as nails! Oh yeah, use a base coat of white or green powder, and follow it up with the glo powder. Cabelas has them.
Let me beat the "safety conscience crowd" to the punch by stating;
1. You should always operate a blow torch with the supervision of an adult
2. Don't operate in a closet or other closed quarters
3. Never operate an oven or torch when extremely intoxicated without your kids supervision
4. Heating lead even when not molten will probably still make you stupid, so don't breath
5. Don't lick the final product leave that to your dog he'll never know he drinks out of the toilet anyways
6. Did I mention that the final product is hot? Use protection.... leather gloves not latex!
I seem to draw the safety critics out of the woodwork, usually for things that Charles Darwin would deem common knowledge.
Heartland, Hope I didn't make your choice to stick with hand paints a dizzying one? It's really not that bad... or is it?
