I failed to mention that I use high on my heat gun for all paints and I bake all paints 320 for 20 minutes.

Great info for sure. Thank you for the share. But to be sure, you used the vein paint in the last jar...?

I've never had much luck in the baking of heads. Could you simply clear coat a 2nd time after you get the crinkle look you like and reheat again to set the clear coat?Originally Posted by DrNip
Also, what are you using on the eyes to prevent clogging? is that heat shrink?
Great video!

Yes. In the video I used green fluorescent chartreuse then green candy for the color then clear and then the silver crinkle.

I wouldn’t know about the durability. I bake all my heads 320 for 20 minutes. If yours having problems get a thermometer for your oven to make sure it is the temp you want. Years ago I bought a better digital thermometer oven. Cost me about $100. My temps of oven were more constant than the rotary dial oven I had and I got better results. I still have an additional thermometer in my oven but don’t really need it now. Also might use jig clamps from TJ tackle like I’m using. Helps in the event you get a little too much paint on the head.
I’m using 1/16oz heat shrink. Get a 100’ roll off EBay for like $10 shipped.
