    I wait 3 hrs + then put them on top of the oven while it heats up to be sure.

    8000 rejects will do that to a man.

    I put my trays of coated out in full sunshine and they reach 130 deg F (55 deg C) in 15 min to 20 min and always pass the smash test.

    My gun metal is a green color. It passes the acetone and smash test. What do you suggest I need to do to get right color? I bake at 400 10 min.
    Kryptonite green is more of a green yellow.

    Dang that Kryptonite Green looks good.

    Zombie Green is still a bit mystery to me, different size bullets and different alloys behave quite a bit differently in my oven. Some other colours work all the same,no adjustments needed. I just find it hard to get nice green with Zombie green,so that it also passes wipe test.

    TMG Gold and Zombie Green as baked today. ZG is sort of "zombieish" compared to TMG which is super even and elastic.

    AWESOME! That's a great blue!

    Now we need to get some here in the US.

    I need to order some Hi-Tek powder but I'll wait and see if the blue makes it here!
