Here is what I made if I have a lot to do. I have another toaster oven I have for normal amounts and just hang them on the wire shelf in it.Please excuse the dusty bottom as I have not used it in a while.
I made this one from some 1/8" aluminum plate I had, cut to the depth of my toaster oven tray & drilled 4 holes thru both plates for the all-thread.

hang your painted jigs, tighten, flip the rack & into the toaster.

Here's a curred batch

Note; Be sure to use all-thread of appropriate size for the jigs you'll be painting. I limited myself somewhat, to 1/32oz-#6 hook jigs or larger, mostly due to the washer's I used but when I go to a #8 or smaller hook, the barb rubs the rod and could at the least, dull it. Fortunately my painting/tying rarely drops down smaller than 1/32-#6 hook jigs.
Man Vern mine has to be cheaper, LOL! Also though I never have to worry about too much paint any more as I don't get the bullet nose for years now.
i frequently get too much paint but now it runs down the hook shank & I can just snip it off with my side cutters or yie over it if it's not too thick. The jigs cure "Nose Up" in the oven like in the last 2 photo's.Quote:
