Obviously I'm pretty big on the Swing Jig..but it is a bit tough to pour and paint...at least for me... a guy with 3 thumbs. Any tips on how you have been finishing the jig??
I have been using the suggested Do-it hook and the KVD Grip Pin hook which are both wide gaps. I added a piece of magnetic tape from WalMart (back in the craft area) to help hold the hooks stationary. I glued the piece of magnet to the base area and when I place the hook the first time I crimped down on the handles really hard to score a slot in the magnet.
After I powder paint them I aggressively use the hook eye to scrap the paint from the wire and hook eye before I cure them in the oven. This has been giving me some nice clean wire and hook eyes.
When I just mold the Swing-Jig I cure the jigs by holding them in an alligator clip which I smashed the bottom flat and inserted into my TJ's Jig Clamp. I add the hooks later by carefully opening the eye of the hook with a pair of split ring pliers and close the eye with a pair of leader crimping pliers.
