Powder Coating

[foakes]

Looks really good, Joe —-

Looking forward to getting my PC project up and running.

Once a couple of other projects are completed —- I'll start up the line.

Just hard-wired the large oven with 220V last week, all encased in EMT conduit, RACO boxes, and 8 gauge wiring with a 40 AMP breaker in the sub-panel box —- last week.  That was the last piece of the puzzle needed to move forward.  I have a nearly new smaller oven, but wanted a larger one for volume and larger pieces.

Gonna be a lot of purple, red, orange, yellow, tan, grey, and other colored Cardinals, DQ's, Mitchell's, and Penns.

Best, Fred

I used the powder from Harbor Freight to paint jigs and it don't work as good as Pro-tec Powder paint ,it seem required more heat to melt and don't melt even

 As I am learning , there are a lot of powders that have different temperature cures and time needed to flow .  Then there is different powder makeup :   There are three main categories of powder coatings: thermosets, thermoplastics, and UV curable powder coatings. Thermoset powder coatings incorporate a cross-linker into the formulation.
