Here is a 2oz custom canal jig with 8/0 Forged Mustad that I powder painted yesterday using a heat gun for the first time. I found the heat gun was much better than my prior experiences of using a propane torch. With the propane torch its hard to get the temperature right...too often I would burn the paint or not get it hot enough the first time.
Tied up a few this morning, zap a gap glue under and during the wrapping process so the hair wont pull out. Put a coat of hard as nails over the wraps for extra durability and will seal the wraps and head with 30min waterproof epoxy for extra durability.
Now all I need is some fish.
