I use powder for my jig mostly and when I finally get my Roadrunners I think that vinyl will be what I use to try and keep from taking them apart to paint. If I didn't have so much powder paint now I may have started using the vinyl, but not enough experience with it yet to know that.

The powder is just too easy to not use. I heat mine with an alcohol burner and use a count for the heat, like 4-5 count of 1/16 and more up to 7 or even 8 for 1/4. Less with 1/32 and smaller. I also use a fluid bed to help with using the right amount of paint. One pretty fast dip i and done.

Above or some thread on this board I posted the recommended cure temps and time.
