I have gotten a oven for curing my powder painted jig heads

and it has 2 wire racks and a drip pan. my question is what do you guys have that you can put your wire rack on outside of the oven while you paint and load the jig heads on ? If I attempt to pull mine out where I can slide the heads on after painting, it will not come out very far without falling forward and dumping my heads off. I feel sure someone has come up with an idea where that you can load your heads (freshly powder painted) on and the put it in the oven for curing. Any help on this would be appreciated :)

How about just a basic frame made from 1x2 or 2x2?

I wouldn't leave that PP on top or it'll be a brick when you try to use it!

Just don't pull it out all the way, or build one of these fancy racks you see posted.

Maybe a spring wound onto the rack wires to keep em in place? Don't need much, maybe a trip to the hardware will show you some options.

These cake pans work great and cheap – got mine at a swap meet. The threads on the screws keep the jigs in place and when you are done curing - you can lift the screws out to un-load the jigs.

I dont keep the pp on the top, had just set it up there while I was cleaning my bench. I have tried the not bringing the rack all the way out but least little bump and it will come crashing down


thanks for the info

If I put mine that close there is no way I could take them out without them touching and sticking. When I use my toaster oven I use the rack it came with and I just pull it out far enough but not so far it tilts. I only put the jigs in about 4 rows deep and I take them out with hemostats and on to another rack to finish cooling. If I have more than that to do then I use my big oven and foil under some gutter material I have cut and shaped some to hang them on. Even like this so far I can only do about 120 at a time. If I cut the material different I can add more in and probably get closer to 160 or so. That's enough for me as since I am tying for customers I don't paint heads until they are ordered.

Maybe I take it farther than some as I even hand file or Dremel buff the heads to make them smooth before painting.

2 things you need to start with:

As others have said get the powder paint off the top of the oven before you ruin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get an inside oven thermometer to make sure of the temp. I don't care what temp you set it at with toaster ovens it's never right, been plenty of threads on here about it. Walmart carries them about $3-$4, cheap insurance.

I have my own style of rack which holds 30-40 jigs each. You can fit 6 loaded pans in a toaster oven more in a regular oven. Cheap aluminum bread pans and can be re-used.

This is just what I use, although I have seen some really good ideas over the last year. Use your own, borrow one of ours but enjoy.
