Good job. Fl colors are hard to cure correctly w/o changing the color. Yours look pretty good.
Don't forget the orange!

Good job doc! They are looking darn good!
a little about what I told him....
I use an alcohol burner to heat heads, have to control how long the heads need to be in the flame before a fast side to side dip! You can even heat a 1/4 oz head in 5 seconds or less in flame so a 1/16 is maybe half that? Too long will make for too much pain on the head and drips and bullet shaped heads, LOL!
Cure times vary a lot when you look at Pro-Tec recommendations and time is all different, but almost all have a optional time and temp that falls between 392 and 400 degrees and for 15 minutes so this is what I use. Some will use less heat and longer times, but time in oven adds darker shades and some like Flame Red turn unacceptable! As far as my memory says only White Pearl is very different and is only 325 degrees for 20 minutes I think. If anyone is painting this and wants to know for sure just send me a PM and I will look it up.
These temps and times are lead surface temp!
i use an old toaster oven and I put a temp gauge in it to determine the real temps and where I have to set it to reach between 390-400 so I know this will start with this oven being cold so I add 2 minutes to the time because of it having to heat up. Believe me if doing Flame Red do not be slow to taking it out of this temp and time!
