This is a how to video for making a powder paint fluid bed for painting jigs and sinkers. I made two fluid beds. In this video I used two 1.5" solvent unions from the plumbing aisle, a piece of 1.5" pvc pipe and 4 test caps for $21.00 from Lowe's. I also purchased a dual air pump from Walmart, a dual regulator and hose for just under $20.00. I cut a couple lengths of pvc from the piece I bought. I cut two pieces for the bottom of the fluid bed so that they would hang about two inches below the solvent union then cut two more that raised about three to four inches above the solvent union for the top. I glued a test cap to the bottom of each fluid bed then drilled a hole in the side just above the test cap with an 11 bit or whatever size compares closest to your hose size. I then hooked the air pump to the regulator then ran a hose into the drilled hole in the side of the fluid bed. The final steps are to untwist the solvent union and put either a coffee filter or paper bag in between the two levels for your powder paint to rest on. This will allow the air being supplied to your fluid bed to circulate your powder paint. You can use the regulator to get the desired air supply. You will then be ready to start painting. You will need to heat up your jig or sinker for a few seconds on a open flame or other heat source then dip them into your fluid paint bed. After this step you can place them in a toaster oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Then you will be ready to use them. I will upload a video of me painting my jigs with this fluid bed soon. Thanks for watching.
