You need to type the number on the numpad. The part with the numbers on the side. Then type 248 while holding the alt button, result ° or you can also type 0176, result ° while holding alt.

Alt+248 takes me back one page.
Alt+0176 goes forward to my mailbox.
I'm running XP SP3 - maybe my older IE doesn't support those shortcuts?

I'm using vista so I don't know if it is your system. Just google how to make the degree sign on a computer and it will work.

All-righty - have to make a slight adjustment! :blush: I baked the powder at 250° / 25 mins. for the first set of these jigs that i took a picture of....................... and that time/temp leaves the clear outer finish brittle!!! Drop test seemed to come out good but i tied a few today and used a razor to trim up against the head and had some crack lines show. The blunt 'drop test' left them wih just a dent and very little flaking but a sharp object cracked them. :dodgy:

After reading some of the recent posts on here about how to paint Lead Free bismuth heads i put them back in the oven and took a closer watch on them as the cooked........

315° for 20 mins. They came out VERY SOLID and not chipping at all this time and up to my satisfaction. Not sure why they would chip under a knife blade but not to a drop test....... either way i will try both tests from now on.

315° for 20 mins

Are the heads the one's that come from Hawn??? Trying to make sure if they're the mix that he makes or what you'rs are!!

Thinking I might have to buy some in case I go to New Hampshire with my nephew fishing.
