Wow, thanks for all of the great info guys. From the consensus it sounds like the two best things I could do is get a fluid bed and start holding the hook by the eye. These things I will be looking into.
Did you really mean 220*? Everything I have read says cure temp is 325* to 350*. I checked my oven with a thermometer and it is within +/- 5* of my target temp.
When I was trying to buy supplies I cannot get locally Jamie at Simply Crappie was the supplier I found that did not believe Alaska was a foreign country when it came to shipping. I expect I'll be buying through him again.
Again, many thanks for all of the info. I'll be incorporating some of these and hopefully my next jig painting session will not be as tedious as my last.
