Been having troubles with my paint sagging during the curing process lately. It doesn't happen with the solid colors only when I double dip with a candy & glitter coat. The cure temp on the glitters is around 275 and I've even cut it down to 225 with more time but even then some of them will sag. On the tip up jigs it sags right down onto the flat and then messes up the tip up function. I've also noticed that the lower temp longer cure doesn't give as durable of a cure as the higher temp as it's more brittle and the high temp cure is very durable/tough like epoxy. Thinner coats are better but other than that I may have to make a holder to support them differently during the cure but that won't help the regular ball head jigs that get a nose on them now. I haven't tried the higher temp for less time yet. Any other ideas out there would be greatly appreciated.
