I ended up preheating with a candle and dip/swish and then gave them a light re-warm to gloss and make sure the paint melted.I baked at 250 for 25 minutes. The orange and green stayed nice, but the yellow tended to sag, all at the same temp at the same time. The teardrops were easier than the rockers. The rockers didn't like to be preheated too much. They'd split if heated too much. I had maybe 4 of them split.. And I did the teardrops first and found the melting point on a couple of them, too. Thanks for the help everyone!! Looking forward to doing more. And oddly enough not much powder was used, I can do a lot more!!
One more thing, eyes on a jig catch fishermen not fish.
Baitbucket: Those are some nice looking jigs. I also tie jigs for open water lakers and might suggest one modification that I believe has increased the productivity of my jigs---add some flash to both sides of the jig.
To be honest I bought a bulk pack of 50 jigs but never had enough time to paint them at all. I caught as many or more fish on totally unpainted lead jigs as I did with fancy painted ones. Now I don't really know if it is even worth the trouble to paint them? I think lead grey is a good color.
