Ok, so after hearing about the teflon pins for the first time from another post I want to give them a try. First off...where is the cheapest place to buy them? How do they hold up? Should I remove them before I powder paint or are they okay to stay in place?
thanks for any info you can offer.

Re: Teflon pins
I can help you out. They last forever, yes remove them before you bake your jigs. I can send you a free sample if you like to see how it works, plus I also have a tutorial about it. PM me your e-mail or phone number.
Re: Teflon pins
They work great, with a few issues. 1. with smaller heads they tend to fall out easy due to the lack of surface friction 2. In some molds they dont stay in place well while pouring and can lead to bad pours.
Do remove them before curing or you will end up with a tube of paint to chip off.
The cheapest place to get them is to buy teflon rods and cut them yourself, amazon sells them. The easiest place to get them is from Barlows tackle.
Good pouring to you

Re: Teflon pins
Teflon pins work great for jig molds. You simply pour your jigs with the Teflon pins in the mold. After you are done pouring your jigs, you can also powder paint with the Teflon pins.. The powder paint will not stick to the pins, and they can be used over and over again. Once you are finished painting, simply remove the pin and glue a weedguard in. I got mine from Jann’s Netcraft as they have a quantity discount for a 100 pack.
