Newbie to powder coating

Featured Replies

Alright I have a question about powder coating.

I just started playing with this last weekend and I am having a problem getting an even finish on my jigs. I am using a heat gun and am holding the jig over the heat for about 20 seconds and then put the jig into the powder. When i pull it out of the powder paint.  The powder is not melting instantly like if I did it with a lighter, but that is fine. Ill hold it back over the heat and let the powder coating melt and do its thing. The problem is on my ball head jigs when i do this i get a bunch of small little divits in the paint instead of a smooth finish. I know it doesnt matter to the fish but im one of those people that wants it to look real good lol. Anybody know what i could try differently?

I was thinking about doing what i was doing with the heat gun but after i pull the jig out of the powder to put it into a toaster oven that I have. Would being in the toaster oven instead of over a heat gun help the powder paint even out a little bit better?

when you cure the head it will turn glossy.  Your head needs to be slightly warmer and you need to have very loose powder to get a thin even coat.
