Yet Another Question

[carolina-rig-01]

i am trying to powder coat some jig heads, all went well until i cured them. they dripped a little and i was left with a "bump" on their heads from the drips. is my curing temp too high or what am i doing wrong?

How are you curing them? If it is in the kitchen oven, they fire up at a really hot temp. More than what you have set. Your jigs could be getting too hot at the start.

[carolina-rig-01]

yes in the kitchen oven (mrs. carolina-rig-01 was not too pleased). i pre-heated the oven to 350, once it was heated i hung the jigheads upside down from the oven rack for 20 min.

Try cutting the heat by about 100°.

Problem is oven not at stable temp. It will swing +/- 40-60* during preheat. (All ovens will except for the new $3,ooo Dacor). At 350*, it will take your oven about 3o min. to be at stable temp. Ya, I know about the bell or buzzer! Forget it! If you cook frozen pizza, and you go by the oven "preheated alarm" you cook them til the cheese is melted, when you bite into them, the center is still frozen. Problem: the oven "air" has reached 350* but the metal is still only 200* Hence, when you open the door the room air comes in and the temp drops then the burner is back on full putting max heat on the surface of the object cooking. stay with your 300-350* but give the oven 30-40 min to be at that temp.
