For bake-on finishes, do the wire racks in the oven cause problems?  For example, if you were to spray a pistol slide... it dries to the touch, and you place it on the wire rack in the over.  Does the rack leave lines in the finish?  Should you cover the racks with aluminum foil and let the part rest on that?

Remove the racks, take a piece of wire and hang it from the broiler.

I just take a cookie sheet, put aluminum foil over it and then bake. Before my parts ever get to the over however, they are already starting to cure as I heat the parts significantly with a heat gun (NOT a hair drier) before spraying, and then after as well. As soon as the Moly Resin hits the surface is it dry because of the heat. Works great. I have no problems putting them on a cookie sheet after that.

Great idea with the heatgun, what kind do you use?  Where did you get it, and is it good for anything else around the house/farm like heat shrinking wire insulation etc?

Hang your parts whenever possible IMO.


Yes heat guns work for shrink wrap.

A heat gun is also good for removing adhesive backed things - like stickers to glass and linoleum on concrete floors.  Indispensable in the tool box along with a rejected spouse's hairdryer for the things you would melt with a heatgun.

most cheapo sub 50$ heat guns dont have enough heat power and volume to shrink wrap big things like boats though. a simple propane torch with the right nozzle will work although not pretty looking.
