Looks good. Do you have problems with paint build up in the eye? I use a little piece of shrink tube and then pull it off before it hardens up after I dunk it in paint.

Thanks guys

Kan......I dip then run a wire through and normally do not have problem. Run a 3" fluid bed so I can dip horizontal which does help. If neither of those do the trick it goes to the hot needle prior to going into service. I have not tried the shrink tube in a long time. May give another chance!! Trying to eliminate steps. I normally paint a couple hundred at a time!

Gotcha. How's that 3" fluid bed work for ya? Right now I'm just dipping straight into the jar. Little challenging sometimes with a 1/2 or 5/8 oz head.

TJ tackle....only way to go. I pour up to 1 oz heads for thumping walleyes! Along with that I have 15 to 20 of his containers so I do not have to switch out powder.......but I pour and paint a couple thousand each year. Fast turn around on his orders also. You can build your own but for his price pretty darn good. I run two at same time pending own single dips or blending with clear coat glitter combos.
