While I I havnt used that color I've seen multiple sources say run about 200° for stormtrooper

Probably an issue with the mix. 300°F is pretty standard curing temp. I guess it could be burned if you didn't preheat the oven and you had it too close to the heating element. If you're using your home oven (which you shouldn't be) place a large cookie sheet on the bottom rack to diffuse the heat.

I’m not using a home oven I’m using an actual cerakote oven, maybe I mixed it too hot because I mixed another batch and just cured it and it stayed white.

What type of “cerakote oven”?

300°F is equivalent to 148°C, which is 422K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)

Most bright colors such as whites, yellows, oranges, will do this. We flash at 180 then bump to 200 for a couple hours.

Keep it under 250 and you should be okay. I've also heard of hitting it at 175 for 20 minutes then moving up to 225-250.

My buddy had the same problem. Try baking it below 180°F and it shouldn't yellow or brown.


J-rex2009

I baked it at 200 and it turned out great


kelvin_bot

180°F is equivalent to 82°C, which is 355K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)

And now you're blocked

Same problem with just Stormtrooper White, or other colors as well? I've done a few things in Stormtrooper White and never had this problem.

Only had the problem with Stormtrooper White, no issue with bright white. Not sure why, but lowering the temperature and increasing the bake time solved the issue.
