Lead Coating Powder - Muddy Green

Product detailed description

Muddy Green is a natural green-brown shade designed to blend in close to the bottom—especially on muddy, weedy or algae-covered ground. This rubberized lead coating forms a tough, abrasion-resistant surface that helps protect sinkers during repeated casting and contact with gravel or stones.

Most commonly used on heavy carp leads and casting sinkers (in-line leads, backleads, flat weights, swivel leads and other hard-wearing styles). Compared to standard powder paints, this rubber / plastic coating powder can feel thicker and more demanding in application—especially when you’re running a fluid bed. For consistent airflow and stable performance, we recommend the Hailea ACO 208 compressor for fluid bed work with heavier coating materials.

Shades can be mixed to create custom tones—Muddy Green works great as a base for natural blends (greener, darker, or slightly brownish). We suggest mixing smaller batches and testing one piece first.

recommended application (proven in practice):

1. preparation: clean and degrease the lead

2. heating: heat to approx. 160–200 °C (convection oven usually 10–15 min; torch only a few seconds—do not let the lead start to melt)

3. applying:

   • fluid bed: best for batches; steady airflow matters (hence Hailea ACO 208)

   • quick dip into powder: dip hot lead briefly and pull out; shake the container first

4. tapping: gently tap off excess for an even layer

5. curing: approx. 180 °C for 10–20 min for maximum durability

6. cooling: let it cool in air or hang it

tip for a natural camo look: while the base coat is still warm, lightly sprinkle a second shade (or pre-mix shades) and cure.
