jig painting ? - Ryans91289 - 11-27-2006 Hi I am new to the board and had a question. What do you guys use to dot eyes on small jigs like 1/32 oz. Any info would be appreciated thanks[] [signature] Re: [Ryans91289] jig painting ? - petty4life - 11-28-2006 i use a shisabob stick [signature] Re: [Ryans91289] jig painting ? - duke-i - 11-28-2006 I use a round tooth pick that way you can cut it to different sizes.

Just whittle and sand down a small stick until it produces the size eye you need. It will generally need to be smaller than the eye because the paint expands the dot.[/#0000ff] [#0000ff][/#0000ff] [#0000ff]If you want to make a white or chartreuse background (white) and a black or red "pupil", then you will need two sticks...one larger than the other. Use the larger one for the "white" and the smaller one for the pupil after the first dot dries.[/#0000ff] [signature] Re: [Ryans91289] jig painting ? - davetclown - 12-05-2006 this is what I use, small enough to thow in your tackle box cheep enough to get every color last a long long time. I bought my markers 15 years ago and still using them. granted I dont use them a lot, but the shelf life is incredible.
