I am new to powder paint. I was wondering for a little help.
The first question I have is this; when I baked my jigs in the oven to harden them up, I got these drips that formed on the tip of the jighead and hardend there. What did I do wrong? To much paint, or did I not leave them in the oven long enough? I left them in as long as the bottle said to.
The second question is: what is the best way to punch out the eye of the hook? I used a eye buster this last time, but it was very time consuming and a couple of the jigs chipped while busting the eye out and I had to repaint them.
Thanks a bunch in advance!

A couple of things;
You should be posting PP questions in wire baits – you will get more results.
Try a word search – the questions you are asking have been covered.

The drip on the end of the jig is usually from too much paint on the jig, curing temp is too high, and/or the jig could be too close to the heat source. Cure time is something you might have to dial in. Don’t use the oven you prepare your food in.

There are a bunch of techniques to get or keep the jig eyes clear. I clear the eyes before curing.

A word search will give you alot more info.
