drying jigs on drying wheel

Recommended Posts

Hi fellas,

Question: I have a drying wheel I use for my musky lures to dry.

How do I dry bucktail jigs on this ? Does it matter head down or up ?

I would be drying a devcon topcoat on the jig head. Do I even need a drying wheel for this? Thanks Bob P

Bob, if you epoxy coat the heads they will have to be rotated until the epoxy sets.

I'm not sure what you mean by head up or down, they should rotate around a horizontal axis, which will allow the epoxy to set evenly on the jig head without any sags or drips. If they rotate vertically, gravity will cause the epoxy will drip down.

If you epoxy coat a tied jig & have problems with the hair or flash flying around & getting into the epoxy, try using some twist tie wires like comes in plastic garbage bags to tie down the hair.

I hope this helps! I also sent you a reply to the PM.
