Loaded up and ready to go

Is the teal color you're talking about in the 3rd pic with the pony heads on the lower left on the pic, the round heads in the back and the redman style heads in front? It looks like a transparent or candy color, whateve it is I really like that, and I'm assuming you don't know the name of it.... Well I'm going to search as I really like that color...A lot!!! Great job Fatman and if I find it do you want to know what it is or do you have enough?

Awesome colors FM, and +99 on the Teal, outstanding. I know you have been asked before, but what technic do you use when dipping your spinner heads. Mine don't turn out as clean as yours do?

 

[AndyLane]

Those look great!

The guy I traded for it called it Translucent Teal the third picture is the powder with no undercoat. The second picture right in the middle is the same powder with a white pearl undercoat and it looks more blue in the picture but it's actually darker than that.

I'll talk to him and find out for sure

Jig Man - I put tin foil around my crane swivels and then take it off before curing. When I use the 2" fluid bed I make sure to have more powder in the cup. I dip eyelet up so with the tin foil on the swivel the deeper powder makes up for the covered swivel. For those that don't have a rigid or heavy mesh filter this is really important as you don't want any punctures or you'll have a mess.

Ok , gottcha thanks.

 

[Fatman]

Glad to help. Even with the tin foil after I cure them I make sure to check the upper wire on the swivel and make sure they both spin really well - a razor blade knife used carefully works well if there's any on it that you don't catch.
