Powder Coat Curing Procedures..

[Instinctz]

Yeah, well what are some ways I can cure powder coating's.

I know you can cure them in an oven, but most of the ovens I have seen on most websites are upwards of $4000, and for me to just start thats alot.

Are there many 'kitchen' ovens that would fit a frame in them?

What about Infrared ovens? I have seen one, that is ran off of Propane, but you have to move it around to cure every location, and it costs around $400.

Could you cure using a simple torch.. or would that just be a pain in the arse?

ask Pappy...he does a lot of powdercoating

[Pappy]

go to columbia's site and look at the tech artical....they show it being done using the infared system. i have a homemade oven and am currrently fabricating a new one just for frames. im gettin tired of driving):)

for small stuff a standard house oven will get the job done quick fast and in a hurry. most home garages have 220v in them and a used oven will run ya $75.

also...get the book chris waters turned me on to from eastwood.

well this is a given.........NO,,,,,,,,,,,,,but the reason is that the piece you are going to powder has to get to the 400* before the powder will adhere and flow out correctly, you cant just get the powder hot,,,,problems with overcuring and undercuring will result.


Obvioulsy a torch or similar way of heating will only get "spots" hot and then also burn the powder, and possibly blow it away.

I thought i heard somewhere that u can use extricity to bake it on. Attach the wires to frame and let the electricity do the work? Is this right?

the powder is electrically charged as it travels thru the pc gun. it sticks to the negatively grounded metal. it still requires cooking at that point.

[gojk]

How safe is it to cure in an oven that you will later cook food in?

[Pappy]

as long as its not an industrial powder it is ok. i dont recommend it but it will get ya thru in a pinch. the non industrial powders produce an odor but no noxious fumes. industrial powders will release harmful gases and arent recommended for use in non commercial ovens. the powder companies denote which powders are which.
