White Powder Paint Base Coat (Primer) for Brighter Glow Jigs
Get a cleaner, brighter, longer-lasting glow with a proper base coat. Our White Powder Paint Base is a non-glow powder coating designed to be used as a first dip before applying Techno Glow® Glow-in-the-Dark Heat & Dip Powder Paints. A white undercoat reflects more light back through the glow layer, helping your finished jig charge faster, appear brighter, and glow longer.
Why Use a White Base Coat Before Glow?
- Boosts brightness: White reflects light through the glow layer instead of absorbing it.
- Improves coverage: Helps glow colors look more uniform and less thin, patchy, or speckled.
- Better glow performance: More reflected light means stronger charge and longer glow time.
- Cleaner finished look: Ideal for jig heads, weights, metal lures, and hardware.
Heat & Dip Instructions (Jigs / Metal Parts)
- Shake the jar to loosen the powder.
- Set the container down carefully to keep the powder fluffy, then remove the lid.
- Heat the metal to approximately 500°F for 5–10 seconds using a heat gun or a small torch flame. Avoid creating smoke (overheating can scorch or overbake the finish).
- Dip quickly into the white powder and watch it melt into a smooth, glossy coat.
- Optional: Immediately dip into Techno Glow® Glow Powder Paint for a glow topcoat.
- If the object is too hot, the paint may drip. Use less heat or a shorter heating time.
- Rotate and hang to cool. Remove any excess powder/paint as needed.
- For small cracks or chips, lightly reheat until the surface flows smooth again.
