thanks for the info guys, i followed the directions on the jar of my pro-tec powder paint (350 degrees for 15 mins.) well when i took my jig out of the oven and noticed that the paint had started to melt. i then tried baking a jig at 350 degrees for 10 mins. this seems to work the best. do you guys alter your baking or temp.?
p.s. i slammed the jig onto a concrete floor to see what would happen, it actually put a dent in the jig without chipping the paint!
