I used the oven at 150 degrees for 15-20 minutes and that worked great until my wife got pissed. Then I tried a toaster oven, but it seems to get too hot and drive sealer out through the paint. Lately I used a heat gun, but I don't think it does much either. Now I've decided to wait until my wife goes away for the day then burn some meat in the oven to cover the smell once I'm done. That way I can tell her I was cooking her a nice dinner, but screwed up, take her out to dinner, and maybe even get lucky when I get home. Building plugs requires innovation, you know.

What I've been doing is to set up a small space heater running on the plugs after I paint.

I'm just worried about toothy fish poking a hole in the top coat and the paint dissolving and lifting the top coat.

Thanks for taking me fishing Grandpa!
