did you do it yourself? What system did you use? The Eastwood set-up is pretty nice. I have been thinking of getting that for a while. Even saved my old oven when we replaced it last year!

What do you use to cure it? I don't know whether to go with their special $400 oven, infrared lamp (almost $400 too) or find some cheapo electric oven.

cheapo electric oven... you can use a gas one too, I have heard stories that they cause imperfections and bubbling in the powder, but thats all they are is just stories...
