 ====== Templates ======
+For free hand work, you can make your own templates for circles, corners and general lines. \\
+The template can be an shape and size that is comfortable to you. Generally, circles and ovals are very helpful. \\
+The template below was drawn and cut out of a thin plastic sheet. You can see where the template was used to create the illusion of fire. \\

+====== Curing (baking) ======
+Guys have been using the BBQ paint for years with no problems. No curing process is needed. ((IronMick of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2521822&highlight=grill#post2521822)) \\
+You can put painted parts in an oven or a BBQ grill and heat to 200° F to cure the paint. ((1976 XL of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2521822&highlight=grill#post2521822)) \\ An oven thermometer was installed in the side of the grill below. \\ Propping the lid open kept the heat down. \\
+Don't heat iron heads much more than that though. It could damage the springs. 200°F is plenty hot to cure the paint, but not too hot as to warp the springs. \\
