cooling down heads

[smoothlures]

I just hang them on my bobbin holder on my vise. Paint one, push it to the left, paint another push it to the left without touching, paint one, push the first 2 to the left and hang the 3rd without touching, ect. Works for me.

Even if you heated them in the oven they cool pretty quick, and with a heat gun they only get heated for 8-10 seconds. With all the threads on this board showing racks you should be able to make a cheap rack.

When I do my powder painting I'm doing 100's of jigs, I heat my jigs up in the oven and even then they don't stay that hot for that long.

Besides if you messed up heating the jig head and it still had loose powder on it dumping it in water would ruin the powder.

I heat mine up with the heat gun and then apply the powder paint, then put them over the heat again to melt and cure the paint for about 4 seconds on each side, then dip them in water. It doesn't give the paint as hard of a finish as heating them in the oven, but does give them a pretty hard finish in my opinion.
