Re: header paint curing
Best way
Sandblast even if new.
Avoid contact with them, handling, ect.
The good VHT 1300+ header paint-Ceramic I believe.
Follow the VHT directions on cans as to coats,spraying
and curing.
Large oven going to be needed to cure uniformally.
3 or 4 hours heat cycling in oven.
Attemp only when wife at grocery store and let oven air out
before putting turkey in!!
Done right, looks good and lasts a long time.
Later
