I'm only heating my head one time dipping it in two colors and brush tapping on one or two more colors on some before the final dip into the crinkle.

Maybe so. I was starting to think because I don’t use the 100% pure lead. I’ll get back out in the garage later and fiddle with it some more. Talk about a rabbit hole.

I heat my jig with a 6 count for a 1/16, dip in white base then into wanted color. If I see smoke I wait several seconds before dipping it into the crinkle. DONE!! Paint colors come out when put in the oven. Color starts coming through after a few minutes, ready to take out after 10-15 minutes. Just ordered more silver, 4 oz. I am using a regular oven, no toaster oven. Unsure how accurate temps are but 325 is a good place to start for me, believe temps are hotter than what the digital display shows.

Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.....



Finally got some to work.
