Baking Hi-Temp parts
« on: July 16, 2008, 07:38:12 AM »
Is the wife mad at you because the house smells like Hi-temp paint when you go to bake parts in the oven? Well, do it on the grill instead! I just finished baking a set of exhaust pipes on the grill with both burners on the lowest setting where my thermometer says it's an even 400F. I layed down a sheet of aluminum foil on the grill so the heat would distribute.

I'm using the Duplicolor brand which requires either 300 for 2 hours or 400 for 1.5 hours. VHT was too demanding on the bake cycles but I'm sure would've been a better brand.

Good Idea, I am going to bake in the oven. She will be leaving for 2 days on Friday. I am in the process of prepping parts and when she drives out of the driveway the parts are in the oven. I hope the smell is gone when she comes back, or I will be living in my garage. Almost do that now.

Cool idea...you have to both laugh really hard about this though.  You are treating it like you are gonna throw a high school kegger...only it's a bike parts baking party.

Did you also have the pipes on them too, or just the muffler?  My grill is too small to do it with pipes and mufflers together.

That was my thought as well, how big is your grill?

And I thought I was being naughty when I waited for wife to leave on trip to Fla. before boiling deer head (animal no longer needed it) in family spaghetti pot on kitchen stove.  II needn't have bothered to be so sneaky.  After she got back, she used same pot to boil (with bleach) the hundreds of sea shells she brought back.  Kitchen smelled like a laundry room for a week.
