[cool][#0000ff]For jig heads [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]1. apply paint, [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]2. 1 or 2 coats of glitter (mixed with clear vinyl)[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]3. Add eyes (paint or stick on)[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]4. Clear vinyl coat (protects eyes and levels surface of glitter)[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]5. Clear epoxy coat.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]For spinners and spoons:[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]1. Glitter coat and then dots. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]2. Or...paint and then glitter[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]3. Eyes[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]4. Clear coat[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]5. Epoxy[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The use of the clear vinyl adds strength to the paint and a layer of protection for dots and eyes. As you have observed, it also fills in rough areas on the glittered surfaces and makes for more depth and light reflection. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]On some jigs or blades, one thin coat of glitter is enough for effect. If you want to make a complete glittered surface, two lighter coats of glitter work better than one heavy one.[/#0000ff]
