Did them in a hurry while the TV repair guy was at the house. NEVER use a Lighter, it leaves smut on them. I use my propane burner. Put them in the flame and count to 5, then dip n shake off all the excess. Think I cured these for 20 minutes at 250, then just turned the oven off and let it cool til I got back home later. Tip of the day is when you cure them on a rack in the oven, put it on the top rack and put a sheet of foil below them. It'll keep you from getting yelled at lol
