One last thing. Mostly I use bare jigs , no paint. When I do bucktails , I dip the heads in Ristoleum either white or black. I usually dip them twice but 1 will do. Now I'm mostly making canal jigs whose life expectancy is measured in hours , not months so the paint job is not critical.. I have never seen a need for powder coating a canal jig whose face gets smashed in in 5 minutes and gets lost to a snag in an hour or two.

30 minute epoxy for me. Gives me time to seal up a good dozen plus at a time and the epoxy usually outlives the razorlip attacks on my jigs.
