SP Dan's Most Recent DIY

I've given my used / spent HUB's a face lift.

I've been saving all my Owner jig-heads from all my spent HUB's and have not only just cleaned them up but have given a few of them a new start by powder coating them.
I think they look different in a good way.

I'll be trying them out tomorrow (Mon) morn at Mother's.

I broke out my powder coat equipment and I proceeded to paint my cleaned Owner jig-heads:

My different colors of powder paint.

This is how I heat the lead jig-heads and where I dip the plan Owner lead jig-heads into the powder paint.
It's recommended that you use your toaster to heat the lead, I don't use my toaster.
I happen to be using the color "glossy black" at this time.

The cool down period, just a hanging and a chillin'.
It's just takes a few minutes for them to cool and dry to a hard shell.

And the end results folk's!
The top two on left side are not powder coated- they are just the plan Owner lead inside the replacement HUB body.

I'm sorta favoring the appearance results of the black powder coated jig-heads with the replacement HUB body's.

Thanx for checking out my latest DIY project of powder coating.

Sorry Jerdon,
That’s my story and that’s all the simple details.

The air compressor makes the paint powder bubble (like boiling water) and you dip the heated lead into the bubbling dry powder paint; 2-3 seconds, and the powder paint immediately melts against the lead.
You then tap the jig head a couple of times to shake off the extra paint powder and set aside to cool off and dry.

They’d cost too much to sell but thanx MarkG! lol

No, but I'd be willing to trade some completely assembled powder coated HUB's for some stock HUB's with you.

I prefer in trade (1 of mine for 3 of yours):
* 1/4oz Sardine Green/Silver HUB
* 1/4oz Mint Blue HUB

I'm currently purchasing the colors: Chrome, Red & Brown.

Thanx MarkG for taking a liking to my lures.
