I'm a dumbxss, I never thought about the lead. I'll be washing the oven tonite.stone went out in the trash.timber whats it like to fish

I'll be hiding in the celler come on over. jigman, when you dip your jigs do you use a bigger jar to hold the powder paint? I snaped off the drips. 75% of the jigs came out fine only 6-7 dripped.I'm gonna beat them on rocks anyway. I almost used liquid epoxy paint from barlows. I think a bigger jar whould have helped me. thanks ed.

I use a small fluid bed. A larger jar would certainly help out. Also need to keep the powder fluffed up. Use a piece of wire or something along those lines to fluff the powder after dipping a few jigs. If you are getting drips on the jigs, don't dip them so long or heat the jigs less. The drips are caused by having too much powder on them. Just a quick swirl through the powder is all that is needed.

I did this once and saw it was going to cause a real problem with the oven and purchsed a cheap little oven at wallmart that is just for jigs. It works fine, has a timer and I set it for 20 min and walk away. Keep it in the basement and labeled as NOT FOR FOOD...contains Pb.

I know what ya mean about the half cellar thing. My wife wanted to have part of the garage but that is where I put my foot down. She just gets pissed when I track wood chips into the house
