Great work I'm a fan can you tell me if I use a heat gun what temperature does it need to be my gun has an adjustable digital readout and how long do you bake your baits for curing thanks for sharing your work

I have the Wagner basic heat gun. I think its minimum is 250 degrees and max 500. I always use max

Can make them whatever size you want just bigger they are may need more air

Hi, just want to ask that is there any heat needed to apply the paint? Or you just fluidized the bed and dip the specimen into it. Appreciate it if received any replies.

I have only used the Pro Tec powder paints with the fluid bed. I am sure there are other brands that would also work. I grab the hook with pliers, heat it up with a heat gun for 7-10 seconds then dip in the fluid bed

Can u make them shorter

Yes you can, I like a taller top section so the powder doesn’t come out
