You can use any of the doit molds and boiling water to make them for self use,it would be to slow to make them in large quainties this way.The material is ev beads,once heated they turn into a foam type material.For painting them NO EPOXIES!!! You have to use a water base paint like CSI offers.If you want to know more about it I will try and give a step by step process to make them tommorrow.Best of luck.hog4can said:Hello my friends...anybody got some input on how we can make our own floating jigs,the material used and where can it be bought ..any tips on painting???
