Re: Powder Coating
I started Powder coating with a Harbor Freight gun and switched to a Hypertherm from Coumbia Coating. You might check with them as to what is available now as I know they have introduced some new models that are priced a little less. The gun is the key, choose wisely and spend the money once. The importance of proper preparation cannot be over stressed, clean, oil and moisture free air is a must as it is in painting. A oil free nail gun compressor will work. I built a large oven for big items but once in a while I cure some small stuff in a household oven which would be a good place to start and wouldn't be expensive. If you check with Caswell, there is a forum there on PC as well as oven building. Caswell has equipment also. It is really rewarding to shoot the powder, stick it in the oven and 15/20 minutes later its done. Power coating is easy as long as you stay within the proper parameters, do overs are difficult. I'm sure that the Eastwood gun would be satisfactory for what you want to do. Fred
