Super User Jig Man Posted July 12, 2007 Super User Posted July 12, 2007 I have tried to powder paint fg12 on my football jigs (straws, metal tubes, alum. foil). Nothing was satisfactory so I decided to make some plugs. I tried every size nail and wire that I have in the shop. All were too large or too small. My wife came out to the shop and commented on the pile around the mold. When I explained what I was doing, she said why not cut a toothpick in half and use it. My thought was ok this thing is going to burn and I'll have to drill them out. As it turns out she had a great idea. Every piece of tooth pick came out and when they wear out replacement plugs will be very cheap. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 cant beat a toothpick. A drill bit works good too. Thats usually what I use when I make shakey heads. I think its a #48 that fits in a medium hitch hiker. then I put the whole thing in the place of the pin. Your FG12 will probably be a different size bit. Quote
