Ghost,
All my powder painting is done with a heat gun. I personally use a heat gun also. I will talk to the guy and see if he minds the screw locks being painted. What type of tape are you using? I was thinking wide electrical tape would work best. No you can not use any vinyl tape; it will melt from the heat. Remember, how hot that jig has to be for the powder to adhere? The tape is a high temp tape to about 700°. I looked into my records, and I sold some to Bassseducer in January. If you’re interested, I still have some. PM me your e-mail address.
As far as any jig that takes 1/8" base hole pins can take screw locs goes, that is very good to know. So my Weedless football jig can use screw locs? I have (5) weedless molds (Round, Snootie, Football, Poison Tail, and Arkie) they all take the same screwlok (aka Hitch Hikers). Hence I didn’t have to buy any more molds. There is no modification to the molds. Use them as you bought them.

Where do you get the tru turn screw locks? Let’s refer to the Tru-Turn things as hitch hikers, since that’s what they are, and to avoid any confusion between Do-It’s Screwloks, and Tru-Turns Hitch hikers. The two brands are not interchangeable so you know. The Hitch hikers I use are medium, there are only two sizes medium and large. The medium fits in perfect in the Do-It molds. There are two types, copper and now stainless steel. Copper is soft, and the stainless steel is really hard. I have been using the copper, since I bought them over a year ago, and still have over a thousand. Stamina has the copper ones on page 38 of their 2008 catalog. Barlows, has both of them on page 58 of their 2008 catalog. Hagen’s also sells them, and maybe Jann’s. I’m not sure.
