Thread: Powder paint

Getting them to hot. Need to cure in toaster oven. Het with heat gun about 2 inches above heat element to a count of 4 and dip. When you pull it out if it’s still powdery looking just wave over heat a second or 2 for it to start to glosss over. Then pull it back and let cool. I sit a coffe cup of water next to me and as soon as they gloss I dip and cool. Then you will see true color. After that first one just add one or two counts to how long you hold it in the heat. 6 to 8 usually works best for me. Then if the boss will let you use her oven, take them in hang on a rach separating them a little, spread a piece of tinfoil under them just in case you get a drip. Then bake at 325 for 30 minutes. That should solve your problem.

Thanks for the info y’all. I’m gonna give it a go in the morning and see if I can get a better outcome.

Had the same problem with my pink...obviously not turning black but turning very dark. Like cray said. Too hot

I've been using a $19 toaster oven.

I lay a bunch of jigs in a foil covered tray and heat to around 315-325 on the dial. After I dip a few if its too hot or cool I can adjust and be perfect, its great!

I started out heating them in a foil pie pan and it's more hassle than it's worth. Get yourself a dual heat heat gun and do them one at a time - yeah you have to get used to how long to heat them but once you have it down you can fly through them!!

I use a small propane torch set to the smallest cone I can get to heat heads for dipping. Rotating them with needle nose pliers just outside blue flame for a few seconds. It takes a bit of practice but if you don't burn the garage down or drip hot lead on your foot you can knock them out fast.
