better learn: yes ma'am, no ma'am, thank you, please. Or those waitress'es will knock you out. GA is a nice state. Bonus is not much snow at all if any, fishing year round.
The one I can't figure out.
Why do people wait until the last minute to purchase/test something then when they have a problem with it expect the whole world to revolve only around them?
Procrastination on your end does not necessitate an emergency on mine.
Didnt know there was this many guys that liked these types of firearms.
I've been looking to buy an AR-10 but they are as hard to get as basstrix LOL
mayassa, question for you. What made you buy the colt over any other brand? Just wondering?
Check the stats on games Harrison is out. Pats are statistically better without him.
I was big Harrison fan when he was a Charger. I don't see it, but thats what the gurus pointed out.
Matt
I guess there is a Harrison on Pats?? I ment Marvin Harrison on the Colts.
Learn from the mistakes and the next go around the heads will be better. And so on. There are so many little tricks none of us can remember them all. I wouldnt have ever thought about the heat ports in a gas stove. Although I've never used one.
Your on your way to becoming a tackle making junkie. Keep it up, its alot of fun.
Any fans on the board? I've had one for awhile and really enjoy shooting it.
Whats your set up if you got one?
I've got a RRA 16" midlength flat top, Quad rail, and a few other gizmos. I plan on doing some varmint hunting with it this fall. .
I'm also looking into a 6.8spc upper for it thinking that would be neat.
You are asking a density question.
Denser a liquid slower the fall.
The actual fall rate might be so little you wont be able to tell a difference.
I think it would go something like this though.
slowest to fastest
cold muddy
cold clear
warm muddy
warm clear
I think of this one every time I pour. Especially plastics. I'm just waiting for the cop to come knocking on the door at gun point and me just pouring plastics. I look like Darth Vader in there with all my gear on.
Anyway, I've been thinking about Chris's little episode and really cant figure it out. The only things I can think of is the oven temp is way off or he has some very tinned up lead. Reason I brought up the celcius temp is a lady here said she baked some rolles on 375 celcius. Which is like 600 deg f.
RULE NUMBER 1 SAFETY FIRST
Lead melts at approx 621 deg. F. You do not want it to touch you. Be careful of alloys.
Please read all the safetey instructions for pouring according to manufactures. Plenty of ventilation and use a good quality respirator.
This is how I make them. There may be better ways or just different ways of making a jig head. I've spent alot of time developing this system and it works for me. You may find a reason to modify some of my steps to fit your needs or tools.
Step 1
The tools needed:
Pouring pot.
Mold
Hooks
Pliers
Base hole pins
Safety equipment
Step 2
Place the hook and base hole pin into the mold as shown and close.
Step 3
Holding the mold closed tightly pour the lead down the center of the hole filling the cavity and trying to avoid over flow. A good pour will turn out as pictured
Step 4
Remove the jig head from the mold with the pliers to avoid being burned by the hot lead. Set aside and let cool.
Step 5
Remove the burr on the top of the jig and remove the base hole pin from the jighead. This can be done with the pliers. Sometimes you will have too rotate the pin out.
Basic Painting
All I use is powder paint. A few notes about it. You will need an oven preferably one with a good temp control. Lead melts at approx 621 deg. F. Place alumininum foil under heads to catch the drips.
#1
heat the jighead to 350deg F. Reason I use this temp is because it is the recommended curing temp for protec powder paint colors I use. Make sure your temps follow the instructions on the paint.
After the jig heads are heated remove I quickly remove the head and insert the pin as pictured. Be extremely careful and wear the same equipment as when you poured the head.
Once you have inserted the pin quickly insert the jig head into the loose powder paint and shake it then quickly remove and knock off the excess by hitting the hook on the side ove the container without knocking it over. Remove the pin and then place the head on a holder. I use an old archery arrow supported on both sides and let cool. Do not let the heads touch or they will stick together.
A good light coat will look like this
The main trick to getting an even coat of powder paint is having extremely loose powder before dipping the heated head into the paint. A fluid bed works great for this but not everyone needs one.
** Notice the paint around the eyelet of the hook and how thin it is. If it turns out like this head you should not need to knock it out. If the paint is caked on the eyelet you will need to remove it before curing. If not. Good luck. When removing the paint sometimes you can use just your finger nail or on some of them you will need to use an eye buster(recommended). Just be careful not to hit the side of the head. The powder paint is very fragile at this state.
After you finish painting and cleaning eyelets now you will need to cure them. Since your oven is already heated you can just put them into the oven and let them cure to the recommended temp.
Once that is completed let them cool and you are ready to glue in the weedguards. I use epoxy because real light glue like super glue will run up the fibers and glue it together.
Some completed heads
Good luck and please feel free to ask questions.
I posted a pic of my hawg I caught in MY OUTINGS and I think it was so big it took all the bandwidth. So I deleted it. ;D
I wonder if maybe how many people are cruising here at a given time causes a lag at times.
I pretty much have one but I dont comb it up. It lays forward or sticks up when it wants too. I hate long hair. I'm 28 and havent even hit my prime yet. ;D
