Reccomended paint and oven temprature?

- Bake at 275*F (130*C), 15 minutes per 1/4in (6mm) I've also baked sculptures in iterations; completing a small portion, then baking for a shorter time at a lower temp to harden it just enough so I don't accidentally scratch or mush it. Soft sculpey will still bond to baked sculpey, so you can experiment with this for a "build-up" approach to sculpting, and many other uses. Something to keep in mind before baking: Anything thicker than 1/2in (12mm) should be bulked out with foil and/or armature wire, or the interior may not bake through. Personally, I have never had an issue with thicker pieces. Tiny little details are another issue though. I do a lot of mini-sculpts (10" figures), and I have burned many small noses, fingers, ears, hair, pointy bits, and more. I started adding tiny bits after I'd baked the bulkier mass to help prevent this from happening, and it works fine. - What kind of paint? I've always used acrylic or gouache paint on sculpey, and it works great.

As long as you aren't using a cover with a plastic knob, your good to go at any temperature. It's the covers with plastic knobs or handles that govern how high the temp can be in the oven. If using the pan, I wouldn't hesitate to have the oven at 450 degrees. If you have a cover with a plastic or acrylic knob, you can replace it with a metal one and have no worries about the oven temperature. Hope this helps.

I am not sure if this paint is heat resistant. I would assume it is and it is reasonable in cost so it could be worth an experiment. The bottle does not say it is heat resistant. If you want a guaranteed heat resistant paint, I would use Pebeo "Vitrea 160". This is a glass stain that can be baked in the oven to make it heat resistant. Your heat from the lightbulbs would serve as the heating source, thus becoming permanent. It is also a high quality paint and so it costs more.......but you get what you pay for.

Try one of the Imusa casseroles. Imusa Enamel Dutch Oven, 4.5 Quart, TurquoiseThey don't do heat diffusion very well (you will appreciate the difference when you get the LC), but they have the same easy-to-clean enamel advantage, they're made in Mexico, not China, and for the price of a LC dutch oven you could buy ten of them.

Not sure if this would be ok for that temp.....I would use Rust-Oleum 241232 High Heat Ultra Enamel Spray, to be safe.

Hi I use a black speckled enamel pot used by other solar ovens and it wors well. Am going to try cast iron. Think it will take a while longer to reach max heat.

It really varies with your oven and cooking technique. I use a commercial convection oven with the ability to inject steam this is a game changer over standard home ovens. using a convection oven I usually drop the temperature by 50 degrees and cook for the same time and experiment with the steam (which I usually use by the way). That being said the timing is somewhere about half of the usual time, I simply cook things until they are done keeping good notes in my cooking notebook/computer. Good Luck

I'd follow the Kurtzon response with high temp paint.They do get too hot to lay your hands for too long.

I used Krylon's High Heat Max paint and it has held up well. http://www.krylon.com/products/high-heat-max/?gclid=CJDawZWX2b8CFUKCMgodlA8AFA You have to remember to prep the surface first or it won't adhere correctly and you will need to reapply after the first use.

Hi,I am in seach of a good countertop oven to use mostly for the rotisserie feature and for meat, pork and not chicken - most reviews focus on baking and chicken. Would you have any specific suggestions or just features/ qualities that I need to look for? I take it that convection would be big deal here. I see a lot of complaints about how flimsy the applicances look and the external heating... Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Does your convection oven have feet on it, or something to raise it off the surface it's resting on? Since the rack has open shelves I would think you'd need something flat to rest the oven on -- maybe a cutting board. The shelves I have are painted -- it would be hard to say whether heat from the bottom of the oven (if there is any heat coming out) would affect the paint. Weight-wise you should have no problem if you stay within the manufacturer's parameters.

I absolutely love these pans. I honestly never used them in the oven, but I don't see why not. I dont think 500 is a good temp to use, but moderate should be ok-350 to say 400. Any temp under 350 should be fine.

Yes, they do fine if cured...so long as you want a paint that is very opaque, as opposed to the traditional "see-thru" glass paints. To cure, I place in a 300 degree oven for 30 mins, then turn off the oven and allow the painted item to cool in the oven.

This is enamel paint and will stand up quite well to heat. If the turn table continues To rub against the frame it will eventually wear again. Sprayry 2 light coats wait 20 to 30 minutes in between.

Hey man, I actually sprayed a topper for my truck, and my truck is a unique tan, so I took off the gas cap and took it to Home Depot to get a color match and small tub of paint. Not the best place to go I've heard, but it definitely worked, just make sure it is not water-based paint. Also, when spraying it will come out lighter usually, so just make sure to use enough color when you mix the hardener and color. If you don't use enough color then it will be lighter, I noticed that after I sprayed it all on, which isn't too terrible, I think if I wanted to bad enough I could just spray over it and keep the texture. So bottom line, just make sure to use enough color when you mix it, don't overdo it, but better to have more of the exact color because the chance of being too dark is impossible if it's a color match.
