Has anyone else tried this yet? I'm curious if you would get better results on an aspirin or maybe even a football head? When I JB weld them on I'm going to make some other mods. Drill out the centre of the magnet. Very small, 1/16 or smaller. And put in the metal point of a push pin. Hoping that will keep the pliers in the centre of the sides

If say that is probably the exact reason Guess I'll work on my tapping

I'm going to have to. Even the super glue came off tonight.

no i've even sanded them down and get the same effect, im wondering if it will lay down after i bake them

ya its pro-tec super glow powders... looks wild. i did a perch one too, with some black stripes,or maybe that is the perch before the black... either way it looks very cool in the dark.

hey guys can anyone help me out here... i heat up the spoon over a heat gun, (tried various times on multiple spoons) and when the heat hits the spoon this happens... then best thing i do is just keep loading the paint up and keep heating... any ideas why this happens, or how to get it to lay smooth from the start?

confession i used superglue on the 1/8" pins on the first set of pliers... worked great then i used epoxy on the 1/4"pins... the heat tore the epoxy apart and i had to go back to the super glue. just some loctite super glue... also here is a 1/2 jig with a 1/4 socket and 6mm eye and finished with glow paints

i just used some gorilla glue epoxy i have here at work

stopped doing that a few years ago with the pvr, and now with apple tv.. no more comercials at all for this guy

i've read alot on people doing that, but i cant/dont pour my own jigs. just isnt worth it for me. i've been purchasing 100 jigs for $10

And another update, I tried the bigger pliers on the 1/4oz heads. You need heat. I could flatten the round out bit I couldn't get a good socket

I also found what seems like a good way to get cheap 3d eyes to stick good Stick them on and put it over the heat gun enough to soften up the powder paint. Then just give it a quick press with your finger to fully secure it. Worked great for me, but haven't fished it yet

Agreed, I'm not sure channel locks would work as the direction of pressure that is applied.However I did get a larger better set for me to do the 1/4"

thanks guys, make sure you have a good set of pliers, the rods were small magnets i took off the fridge, worked very well. and make sure you use quite a bit of heat, it really helped. of course 1-10 were absolute F ups, so those i kept to fish myself

so as many of you had read, i was trying to find a jig head with a larger recessed eye I was never able to find exactly what i was looking for so i decided to work on it myself First i took my 1/8oz round jig head Then my pliers with two 3/16" rods epoxied on I then held the jig in the pliers, but before squuezing i held it over the heat gun for a 10-15 count and bobs your uncle. After an hour of messing around watching sportscentre i had 40 made up ready for paint. and finished i know this is very similar to the socket eye jig mold, but i'm going to try the same diameter pin, or 1/8" on a 1/16oz and i've allready got a 5/16" pin ready on another set of pliers for the 1/4oz
