    all of these are excatly right. To much powder and maybe to hot I used to get them to but lowered my cure temp to 300 for 30 minutes and made a fluid bed very cheap. a fluid bed helps alot you get a nice even thin coat. after doing those 2 things i havent got a cone head yet.

    Heat the jigs to where the paint sticks but doesn't gloss over, with a count in your heat ( or a watch/clock). Write your count down or memorize it. Then hold it over the heat for a second or three right after dipping until it glosses and voila, perfect coating. Bake when you get done.

    Low Temps Bud"..."like 200* To 220*deg.for An Hour To 3 Hrs.trust Me" It Works Great! Especially When Ya Have More Than One Coat Of Paint On A Jig.paint Your Eyes On Before Or After W/ This Method ,"as The Low Heat Wont Interfere W/ The Vinyl Paint Used Typically W/ The Eye's!(Browning,or shriveling)
    P.S
    USING THESE TEMPS/TIMES ELIMINATES" THE USE OF A FLUID BED RES.IF ONE ISN'T AVAILABLE TO YOU AT THE TIME AS I HAVE NOTICED AT 235 OR BETTER,IT WILL STILL HAVE TENDENCY TO CONE,OR BROWN W/ CERTAIN AMOUNTS OF COATS APPLIED,AND DISCOLORATIONS LIKE THE BROWNING YOU MAY GET W/SOME WHITES,AND CHART'S..."GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND"HAPPY JIG'N!!!
