STARDUST Powder Paint - How To

STARDUST is the hottest paint to hit the fishing tackle market! These powders come in a variety of colors, from solid to multi-colors (camo's, sprinkles), UV and UV glow. STARDUST is a unique plastic polymer paint that produces a rubber like coating that not only gives your lures an excellent look but protects it from wear and tear. Unlike traditional powder coating, STARDUST provides a virtually unbreakable seal around your lure. This also provides waterproof protection with the added benefit of being odorless and non-toxic.
STARDUST is easy to use and apply, no ovens required! You can coat your jigs and lures at home or you can coat them right there in your boat! Simply heat your jig, dip in the powder for 2 seconds, reheat the powder so it melts to the lure, dip it in water (to cool it) and then shake for 20 seconds… DONE!

[@guyh.4553]

Thoughts you were going to do pink. 😅😅😅 Pretty dang simple

[@fishduckdog]

Thanks for sharing!

[@guysavoie247]

Seems like a very interesting product, do you have a supplier in Canada? The website specifically says they don't ship north of the border.

[@jlynchh7052]

Can you add glitter to the crystal clear coat? And if so how to you apply it? Thanks!

[@AggelosDRZ]

Can I use white and then paint my design with an airbrush? Over the white base

[@seandonahue7]

Do you guys have a bright orange color?

[@johnlange2914]

I'm having issues using the torch and the powder with sparkles they keep coming g out pitted am I not heating it properly all the other colors I have no issues

[@d.edwardmanders4496]

Can I use a heat gun instead? And does it perform any better (or worse) in a fluid bed?

[@hardwiretackle]

Heat guns will work but it will take a lot longer than using a torch. You can use a fluid bed but it needs to have enough PSI to float the STARDUST powder. We use an air compressor in our fluid bed. We have a fluidiser on our site that you can take a look at.

[@suprxracer630]

What torch do you recommend? Can you use a heat gun also? Thanks

[@hardwiretackle]

Any torch really. We prefer culinary butane torches (used in kitchens) as they are larger than your standard electronic butane torch (for heat tubing) and are a bit easier to handle than a plumbers torch.

You said you were going to do the small one in pink and it didn’t go in the water lol 😊

[@Gatorraider]

No fluid beds?

What do you use to clean up the eye on your jigs.? Just curious

[@ReelMichiganAnglers]

That was going to be my question as well. I just ordered some. I think I’m going to just stick a toothpick in there before hitting the cool water.

[@hardwiretackle]

You can clean the eyes after dipping it prior to the final heating or after prior to cooling the jig off. We typically use welding wire or tooth picks. You can also use silicon heat resistant tubing to protect the eye from getting powder in them.

[@ReelMichiganAnglers]

@@hardwiretackle yes after playing around with it a bit I find that it’s actually pretty easy to keep the paint off the eyelids if you are gentle while dipping. On the occasion that I do get it on the eyelet, the heat gun melts it off or it is easy to pick out with a hunk of wire or toothpick. I am really loving this stuff and I gave it a test with a hammer and it holds up!

[@mrdeguzman75]

you didnt do the pink like you said lol

[@johns2453]

Angel Dust sounds better
