Gloomisman Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Is there anything to coat base hole pins with to make them easier to remove from the jig head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Gloomisman, First of all I wouldn't recommend it, because any oil, wax, or grease, will melt in and possibly around the jig, causing powder or wet paint issues down the road. Unless you are going to degrease them after you are done pouring. Even then I personally wouldn't do that. What jig are you having problems with may I ask???????????

Spin Casting Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Gloomisman, We use Teflon pins in our silicone molds. Not sure if it will work in aluminum molds.

Gloomisman Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 mostly the poisen heavier ones. 1/2-1 oz. I have to use pliers and walk them out and wearing blisters in my fingers. Wonder if I polish them if they would slide out easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Gloomisman, I have a solution for you to try, as this has worked for me in the past. If you put your weedguards in after painting and baking like I do, then this next step is for you. Take your base hole pins, and cut off about (.031) 1/32 of an inch off of the end that is not mushroomed. What this does, is it will alleviate the pressure of the mushroom head forcing the other end into the hook shaft as it lays in the mold. I noticed that not all base hole pins are exactly the same length, and they all aren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMALLIEHUNTER Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I tappered the end of the pin a little, if your going to powder coat it first the drill it out and glue in the weedguard!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
