Mcmillan and Manner both say baking at over 160 degrees will void a warranty.
I use alot of the air cur on stocks and optics and have been very pleased. I usually use it as a base coat and then do any secondary colors in duracoat or even krylon. If you want to change something you can pull off the last two with about any carb or brake cleaner and it leaves the cerakote intact.
I have done bolt handles with both as an experiment and the bake on will show no wear at several thousand rounds where the air cure might show signs of wear at the same point. Either one will last one heck of a long time and if an impact is hard enough to scratch the air cure it will probably mark the oven cure as well.
Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
