Vinyl jig paint
Anyone every work with this stuff.
I painted a bunch of jigs the other day and it seems that if I take my nail and run it along the jig the paint comes up without a lot of force. Is it the temperature--I did them when it was about 50 degrees outside. Or do they need three or four days for a complete cure?

I used white as a primer. I cleaned the heads and put white down. Bottle didn't say anything about a primer, nor did the source where I bought them from. I think it has to do with the lenght of the cure--or I'm hope it does. Could also be that the paint went on too thick because of the cool temperature. 70-80 degrees is what the say for the perfect temp.

I lose a lot of lead---not even sure if the jigs are worth painting. Throw some hair on 'em, put a curly tail on. Done. 100 tied by the 15th of May.

Powder Paint the way to go
Goose,
I used to use the Vinyl. Have switched to the powder.
The vinyl wasn't too bad but yes a bit soft. The powder is very hard. And very easy to use.
Advantages: No shelf life
No fumes
Very hard
Quick dry, can tie the same night
Goes a long long way, no waste
