That's a FACT. Love the comment, I'm gonna steal it. LOLOriginally Posted by brettw
Instead of buying a new heat gun, use a propane torch. About a 1 1/2-1000 count on a 32nd is enough, a 2 1/2-1000 on a 1/16 if you hold them out past the tip of the flame. And it doesn't hurt the torch when molten lead falls in it..... I learned that when developing the 1000 count timing on how long to heat them. LOL Sometimes I have to hold them back on the fire for a second or two if the powder doesn't turn shiny after dipping.

Get with a good teacher!! I went and stayed about 4 hours with CRAY , he taught me a lot in a short period of time , I am about ready to order up my pot , molds, and powder paint set up , already have a good heat gun , and air pump , but I can tell you I would have went the wrong direction and spent way to much money with everything if not for cray ,

I use a propane torch to heat and dip like mentioned above. If i want a long lasting finish I take the extra step of putitng them in an old toaster oven and baking them at 350 for 15 minutes. You just need some sort of wire rack to hang them on. I use a little stand that was meant for beer can chicken. I decided I hate any chicken not fried so I didn't need it any more.

I cure everything I paint using the toaster oven method. If I’m going to go thru the trouble of painting, I want it to last!
