[QUOTE="KDM, post: 86345, member: 314"] Tip the paint jar upside down and then right side up. This will "Fluff" the paint. The jigs should easily dip into the paint. If you are pushing and swirling the jig around in the paint, you will get clumps of paint which isn't what you want. Immediately after you dip the jig, hold the jig "Head Up" and let the melted paint smooth out over the entire jig. If you hold it head to the side you will get lopsided paint and if you hold it down, you get "The reservoir tip" look. Keep in mind that the larger jigs will take a bit more attention to get them uniformly hot and painted. Don't hesitate to give me a shout. I'd be glad to help you figure your system out if I can.
