Ghost, George Reeves is right, leaving paint on the screwlock does hold it in there better, especially after it is baked. I personally don't have the new shakey molds from Do-it. I use all my original molds and put Tru turn screw locks in the mold and pour. This saved me about $150, since I have (5) molds that accept screwlocks, and didn't have to buy any new ones. If you have any molds that have the 1/8" weedguard pin, than you can make that mold shakey style with-out buying any more molds. I also tape my screwlocks, because some of my customers requested them that way. Supposedly the worms hold better with out the paint on it. I personally see no difference. Also if you do tape, it is tedious, as you will have to press all the edges to keep a clean screw lock. One other thing do not put the tape all the way to the bottom of the screwlok, you will not get full paint coverage. Do not use an open flame on the jig with the tape to heat the jig. The tape is heat resistant, not fire proof, the tape will burn and ignite. Lastly, take the tape off before you bake the jig. I believe I sold some tape a way while back to Basseducer, I may be wrong though. If you need any more help, let us all know, we'll get you up and running
