Great video!
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.
