James RickardMake a drying rack

Fresh from the oven!
Granted, you can buy something to fill the bill but this post will tell you how to save a few bucks and maybe buy some gas or a new lure.
The nice thing is that you can make a drying rack from scrap lumber. I used to be into model rockets so I had a piece of real thin plywood lying around and this made a really good base for my rack. Regardless, it doesn't matter how thick or thin the base is.
After that, take two small pieces of of wood about 6" long and secure one to the base. Then, hold the other piece against the piece of wood you secured and drill a hole near each end. While things are aligned, place a large bolt and washer through the holes and secure them with a wing nut.
That's about it! You could add double sided tape to the inside of one of the wood pieces to make it easier to secure your jigs. I suggest it but, that's up to you. AND although it's hard to believe, powder paint is cured in the oven at a temperature below the ignition point of wood so this contraption is safe to bake. Will it work in five years? Beats me but, for a few months or a year, it's all good!
This will allow the jigs to be held upside down by the hooks and if the paint runs, it will not create a bulge where it drips.
Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!
