RGR5RTB Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Guys this has probably been covered before but what are you using to cure powder paint? I have been using our home oven but the wife put a halt to that. I was considering a convection oven but it is a convection/microwave and I didn't know if that would work with the metal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayooper Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 My wife did the same thing. I use a toaster oven now. Make sure you use a oven thermometer to make sure your temp is 350. My toaster oven dial said 300 but the oven thermometer was 550. For times to cure the paint, check out our website www.tjstackle.com under the powder paint section. I have a list of all the colors and prefered curing times and temps. If you are lucky, you can find a three story toaster oven that wll hold hundreds of jigs.

RGR5RTB Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks Ben, it is ironic that you were the one to reply, I ordered a fluid bed from you last night. Mike Moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigmaster Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 A three-story toaster oven would be sweet....let me know when you find one....

Snuffy671 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I've been curing mine in my outdoor gas grill. I just turn on one of the two burners and keep them flame as low as possible. Hang my jigs on some of the upper 'warmer' racks in the grill. Let em cook for about 30 minutes. Not sure if this is the optimum method but it seems to work o.k. and I didn't have to spend any money on a toaster overn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungeonhawk Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 So, what do you guys use as a rack when you put it in the toaster over or whatever? I havent figured out the best way to do that yet. Is there a tutorial on how to make a good wire rack for use in the toaster oven ?

bassn1 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I bend small pieces of spinnerbait wire into a "s " shape and hang my jigs by the hook eye. That way if I get any paint that runs, it runs down the bottom of the hook and can be easily cleaned up. The 's' clip also keeps the hook eye free from paint.

cadman Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Here are some pictures of my curing rack. Picture 2 shows a better view of the threaded rod I use as hook hangers. The reason for the threaded rod, is to keep the hooks in place, and keep the jigs from sliding into each other when you put them in and take them out of the oven. Especially when you take them out since they are hot, and if they slide into each other, they will stick. At this point you might as well throw them out.....

rhahn427 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I use a rotissere toaster oven. It is much higher than the standard toaster oven and can handle both the fresh water and the large saltwater spire point jigheads. I use the rack that it comes with to hang the jigs for curing.

doomdart Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Yea, toaster oven for looks, but butane grill lighter for quickness. You can paint a lead head while on the boat if you want. Heat with grill lighter, swirl, let cool, then pass and swipe over the open flame. Not ideal, but quick and effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
