If you dont cure them they will chip alot easier.Just hang them on the wire rack and you can put foil under them to catch any drips you may have.Will keep the little lady happy if your using her oven ha ha
A BIG tip if you use the aluminum bread loaf pans is to get a hole puch and punch holes around the edges of the pan and then fold them over so that the jig hangs inside the pan. Believe me it sounds dumb but it works GREAT!! I'll try and get the camera working and take some photo's.

like they said it will not last and will chip off.

Instead of hanging them off the hook in the down position. Purchase a clamp rig that allows you to clamp them in the upright position. jYou will get much better results. Avoid the nipple effect. Any excess paint will run down the hook and not on the head itself.
There are several websites that sell the clamp rigs. I'll post later...
I made my paint baking racks to fit in my toaster oven. I also used all thread rod , so when you take the hot rack out of the oven, all the jigs don't slide to one side and melt to each other. The same principle for when you put the jigs in. Here are some pics.
