Quick Tip: Using Cardboard For Holding Parts
This quick tip from Brownells demonstrates an effective and simple method for holding small firearm parts during painting and finishing processes. By pushing parts like screws, pins, and safety levers through a piece of cardboard, builders and gunsmiths can create a stable jig for applying finishes. This technique is suitable for both air-curing finishes like Aluma-Hyde II and oven-cured coatings such as Cerakote and Gun-Kote, as the cardboard's ignition point is significantly higher than typical curing temperatures.
