You can PM me if you would like, and I will send you pics. However this is just my opinion.
My procedure is exactly the same. If I am just making a few, I just shake/stir the jar and slide/dip the jig into the paint. If I am making a large number, I will use the bed. I always use the least amount of heat that I can get back with also.
