Chevcup47 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Ill have to wait and see how mine come out or if its gunna work for sure. before i go and say we may be able to do any others. were making a low cure powder so it will only bake at a max of 240 may even be lower on temp. if mine work ill see if we can do any for anyone else wanting it and if so what it would cost. i might like working for a company that makes powder for powder coating after all if thai works any way.

Jonmalibuss Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 If the powder bakes that low it would only make sence that it will resoften by the heat of the engine and then let dirt get embedded into the powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevcup47 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 thats the miricale with powder. once the cure agent thats in it has been baked even with the low cure type its rock hard and wont get soft once its baked. unless of course its in direct contact with fire or flame. ive gotten a test cover we are going to be working with first and ill let everyone know how it comes out.
