Didn't mention baking on the tin but as I was doing a brake caliper I put it in the oven at 100 deg for 30 minutes. But may be yours is different.

Same stuff, at least the tin looks the same.  I had read the thread you linked so I figured it was worth asking to see what  others had experienced.

I got the idea from sohc USA forum.I purchased a cheap cooking thermometer on ebay, Used a heat gun to get it up to temp.
It took five hours. very happy with then end result. The directions on the can says that it must be cured within 10 hours of painting so running the engine to cure it may not be an option. I also read some where that curing paint by running the engine is not a great idea as the top of the gearbox may not get hot enough, and this is the place where petrol will land if the carbs leak

Sweet tip!  May well give that a try!

Another tip,if you do this!
Do it as far from your house,garage or shed as possible and use a circuit breaker for the heatgun

Norniron:
If you want to make a safer oven use one of these lined with tinfoil.
Probably work out the same as a couple of sheets of ply
