mark poulson Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I set my toaster oven on bake, 250 degrees, and 30 minutes, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pool 4 gold Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I would lay a thermometer in the over the first go around or 2 because I have had ovens in the past turn out to be much hotter then the setting it is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaery Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I do have a question though. On a recent TV show like Facotry Made or How Its made or something like that, they showed a powder coat setup with powder coated baits basically on a conveyor and they use a two step powder coat curing process. They went through one oven then air cooled slightly and then went through a second oven. Anybody have any feedback on that? Maybe a way to faster cure at a higher temperature without burning? it is infrared lamps. they will cure faster. that is all i have been told. I assume it works.

mark poulson Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I am careful that the jigs don't hang directly over the heating elements while they cure. That will overcook them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryF2858 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 there is a small metal pan or tray on the bottom that covers the elements, maybe i will lay some foil on the top so the heat isnt so direct from the top, there is no deflector up there.

mark poulson Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 If the elements are already covered, that should be enough. It is the concentrated heat from the exposed element that makes them hot spots. A metal pan covering them should spread the heat out more evenly. Try it first, before you start putting foil over it. You never know what it might do. My wife ruined the self cleaning feature of the bottom of my double oven by putting a piece of aluminum foil over it. The ceramic panel in the bottom overheated and shattered. The oven still worked after that, but it was no longer self cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryF2858 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 The weed guards that have both ends fused were just fine, the new ones i got that are not fused on both ends flaired out when they were baked so i had to stop and wrap tape around them to stop them from flairing out, but that worked fine and they came out just great. Now i know to tape them as i hang them in the oven or get fuse the ends of the weed guards before i bake them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
