Luke, I've done it several times with varying results. I think you'll find that the time varies considerably from part to part and maker to maker, the heavier ones taking more time, example: the ejector at 3 minutes @ about 450 degrees compared to the trigger at up to 15 minutes. I do it on shoters so I have the leeway to play around and redo them several times till I get it right. I clean the parts first in hot soapy water then in laquer thinner. Always use a pliers or a set of hemostats to hold them, never touch them with your fingers. Once I get them clean I use 1000 grit sandpaper to clean up the old surface, or leave the original machining marks there if you prefer. After the sanding I clean them again and into the oven with them after the heat has stabilized. I use one of those BBQ grates that are made for fish, the one with the small openings, it lets the heat circulate. Karl has good advice also but I don't have the gloves to do that. Let us know how it turns out, if first you don't succeed try, try again. Almost forgot, after using the laquer thinner look closely for a fine film or streaks, if you see any just go with another hot water and soap scrub and a good rinse.
