    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

$45 Powder Coating gun

I read up on it, still need to bake the parts in an over at 400 deg. Sounds like a neat item

Manufacturer's Description

Apply a durable, protective coating to any metal component quickly, easily and safely. Coating is electrostatically applied, then just place coated item in a 400 deg. oven to cure and you're done. Fast and environmentally friendly, coating is chip and chemical resistant. System features internal air generation (no compressor needed.) Variable speed switch.

Powder-coating can be applied to iron, steel, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and also chrome-plated surfaces. The Craftsman Powder Coat system will allow you to obtain professional results at home at a fraction of the cost. Superior to aerosol and other liquid coatings in flexibility, corrosion, and chemical resistance. Over spray is simply swept up and disposed of in household refuse. The system includes the accessories, application gun, and detailed instructions. Powder-coating, like other high-quality coatings, can only be applied over a bare metal surface. Removing corrosion and old coatings can be easily accomplished with abrasive paper, wire brush, liquid paint stripper, or abrasive blasting. Once removed simply wipe with acetone or paint thinner, allow to dry, and coat. The only components you will need are an object to coat and an extra toaster oven or non food prep conventional oven

Yup. I am using a toaster oven for little stuff. for big stuff ie valve cover I will try a heater.
 
Now if I could find an oven big enough to put in a whole frame.......hehehehehehe
 
I think you could do a section at a time with a small heater. But not sure.
 
I researched that Craftsman unit a couple of years ago when I was considering a powdercoating system. The consensus was to spend the extra money to get a better unit like the HF one. Uneven coating, small powder capacity, etc.

Yeah, it felt weird. If you are a pro, certainly go with one of the $200-300 units. But for the home hobbyist, the HF should be fine. In many cases, you can find a similar unit in a different brand if the HF name just scares you off.
