Japaning temp . . .

>Finally getting around to doing my new " boat anchor " # 5c. I think I saved the wrong instructions though. I thought I baked at 300 degrees for an hour last time but the set I saved says 250. I followed the " orders-in-hand " like a good GI but its still a bit tacky. Now I'm think'n it IS 300. Would anyone back-up my fadeing memory ? Thanks !

>cook it at 250 to be on the safe side. You can always put it back in for another hour at 300 if the lower temp does not work.

What instructions does somebody make this stuff? I have to make my own.
