    Red eyes

    I saw a jig that had some plastic domed red eyes with no pupils and that appeared to be made of the same material of what a stop sign would be made of. Has anyone seen this type and where could I get some? Thanks!
  2. I am interested in learning about powder coating jigs and spinnerbaits. Does anyone know of someone I can talk to on the phone and pick thier brain? I want to learn as much as I can about the proecss and trying to build some type of rack system to paint hundreds of jigs at one time. Thank you, Gilbert

    Alloying Lead

    Thank you for your responses, I really do apprecate it. I would prefer not to use wheel weights due to the smoke and toxins. Do you have any other recommendantions of another type of material I can add other than wheel weights? I hear others talk about peiter (sp?) or other antique artifacts. I am not really familiar with kind of stuff. Also, I am doing hand pouring at the moment, and plan to buy a casting machine, I just wanted to use this lead that I bought for almost nothing instead of buying the expensive premium lead and paying outrageous shipping. Again, thank you for help!

    Alloying Lead

    Hi, I am not sure of the alloy used that I was purchasing from cast industries, but I believe it was refered to as printers lead. The lead that I bought the other day, I believe to be soft lead. It is very easily scratched. I would like to alloy it so that it will give me a product that will not dent too easily, yet not to hard so that the colar won't break on the hook. I am hoping to get a formula and a source from where to purchase to add to the soft lead. Thanks for your reply!
  5. I manufacture lures and have been buying lead from Cast Indstries, and ran across a deal for several hundred pounds of soft lead and would like to alloy it to the same type that we buy for casting using centrifical mechine. Does anyone know the formula or what I need to add to make it more durable? Thanks!
