Posts: 486 home made fluid bed for powder painting jigs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was trying to figure out how to make one and ran across this thread so I thought I'd pass it on. I haven't built one yet but I plan on it. http://www.ohiogamefishing.com/community/showthread.php?t=65633 __________________ Rob |

What it does is fluff the powder up. it suspends the powder so you get a more even coating of paint. It works the way you do it, and me, but this is supposed to make it easier to dip the jigs. __________________ Rob |

The biggest issue is getting air to flow throughout the powder and not just up through the middle. __________________ Go Fishing you can't catch them sitting on the couch!!! |

I use a small aquarium pump I bought at Walmart for around $10, and just a short piece of tubing (no regulator). __________________ Go Fishing you can't catch them sitting on the couch!!! |
