Pouring and Painting Jigs

[A.W.Wolfram]

I was running low on my favorite Walleye pitching jig so I thought I would take some pics of my equipment and the process.

Here is the mold. I only needed 3/16 oz so that’s the only size that I poured.

Gates cut and filed

This is my home made air bed.

Cooling after painting

Bake at 350 for 20 min

Very nice tutorial.

Guy's like me need pictures to bring things to life.

One question if I may and please forgive my ignorance, does the introduction of air (air bed) give the material some loft as to prevent clumping?

Again, thanks for sharing.

Scott,

That is exactly what it accomplishes. It also allows you to apply a thinner coat all around.

Thank you.

Love your ingenuity.

what mold is that?

That was my first thought. As I really like the looks of it for pitching plastics with the little plastic keeper or poured without the keeper and tied up with bucktail...

The mold is a do-it JT-7-WBA jig mold...

Funny thing is.....I didint realize there was a picture of the mold in the post till now......lol...Just ordered one. Im a huge fan of the precision heads so these will work great in place of those!
