Anyone Try This Stuff?

Is it worth the time / effort?

Nope, but let me know if you try it. If it doesn't work you can always let the kids have some new glow-in-the-dark finger paint :)

:) :) Hi there I use powder paints all the time.I have about 16 different colors which are not glow and 10 colors which are glow.They work excellent,for jigs I just heat them dip in the powder and pop into to the oven to cure the paint.I was getting them from Cabelas but they are now a restricted item.I found a guy in the States that sells them.www.tjstackle.com
.You can buy them in 1oz jars for about $2.50.Each jar will paint about 150 1/4oz jigs.The smaller the jigs the more you can paint.The paint he sells is the Pro-tec brand which is the best I have used.There is Sourdough powder paint which is sold out Medicine Hat but it is way too granular and bubbles lots when it is heated.Good luck I can make about 6 different styles of jigs.I started this hobby 3 years ago and my buddies are always fully stocked up. Good luck.

I've used the vinyl glow paints. I put a white base coat on then dip the heads in the vinyl paint. Not really impressed. The coverage is pretty poor (takes at least 2 and maybe three coats to get a good solid colour). You tend to get a lot of running and thus uneven coverage so your jig head is a little lumpy looking! Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I wouldn't buy it again.
