400* for 10 min. is what is called from by Pro Tech. This temp is needed to trigger the thermoset polymers in the paint to get a proper chemical change for max durability. Too low of a temp will not yield the same results...

LIGHT swish through the powder, DON'T double dunk to add more paint...

Use a toothpick to clean out the eyelets WHILE THE PAINT IS STILL WARM. Once it has hardened, even just a few minutes from dunk time, they are way way way harder to clean out.
