Is there any product or easier way to protect the weed guard of an unpainted jig when i heat it up to paint it. I use aluminum foil that I wrap around the weed guard. It is a little time consuming.

I have tried lots of ways to protect the WG and found none of them to be good.  I have devised several plugs to put into the molds and cast them w/o the WG.  I paint them, redrill [when necessary] the holes, put on all skirting material, then glue in the WG.

Go to Do-It and look at the 2009 products, they have a tube now for this pupose.  I cant post the link for you im sorry.

Also you can look at Home Depot, sometimes they have brass tubes that work ok,,,,, but i always seem to burn the weedgaurd somehow.

Drilling with drill press at the perfect angle, then glueing them in with Devcon 2T is the best way in my opinion.  There is no pulling them out then.  I sometimes glue them in after the skirt but only if im hand tying.
