Also if you have paint nipples, then you have way too much powder on the jig. I personally would not drop the temperature in your oven no lower than 300 degrees (Fahrenheit) when curing(baking). You want the paint molecules to cross link and adhere to your jig. That is the whole point of curing a painted jig so it hardens the paint. I'm not saying that you can't do that, I'm saying that I don't believe you get a good hard finish that way. Do as you will. I would learn to put less paint on, and that would solve 90% of your problem. If you want an easy and fast way to paint a lot of jigs one color with an even paint coat buy or build yourself a fluid bed. For one color application and ease of use it can't be beat. BTW toaster oven size has nothing to do with paint quality. Just make sure the heat you are getting out of the toaster oven is accurate. Just my 2 cents worth.
