The Czickness LII….it is the grey time of year. Tungsten Grey that is…

Yes, it is supplied with a catalyst that is mixed 12:1 to 24:1, higher gloss to lower gloss respectively.

It has a pot life of about 2 hours IIRC.
You bake it for a couple of hours max, but the oven is also involved in tasting out the parts to remove all oil.

But you can also bake it for 10/20 minutes and work with layer after layer to work stencils on/off before the finish cure.

Did I mention that I have an oven?

Right in the middle of my garage too....perfect cerakoting.

Here’s a picture of the oven rack I use, basically just two racks welded together.

ETA, having trouble loading pictures tonight…
Finally.
I was going for 4 in a row but noooo.

Pay no attention to the Cummins 6bt sitting in a shortened ford super duty frame that will be on ‘78 Dana 60 axles with a ‘73 FJ40 body with an extended 4 door tub from Aqualu. Don’t even look at that.

I'll admit ..... I looked !

No I don’t remember that you did.
Is it for sale? I might be interested in having two, in case I ever need to paint two guns at once.
Is it big enough to fit a Cummins block in?

I’m not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I have a dremel, so I’m a gunsmith, or so I’ve been told. Any gunsmith must have at least one oven I would think.

Its not just an oven. It is a double oven. I only roll @MindfulMan style.

That's right ... we need something that'll cerakote and cook a turkey at the same time !

DWX trigger is very consistent at about 3 lb 14 ounces. What I had forgotten was how sharp the edges of the trigger shoe is. Needs a little bevel. Wish I knew someone with diamond files.

Wish I knew someone with an oven.

I'm waiting for the inevitable "You got diamond file in my oven", followed by, "You got oven on my diamond file".

Reese'sPieces should be along shortly if I got the wording wrong.

SP-01 manual safety for $558.37. Add to cart to get price. Seems awfully cheap.

It's a little cold to be outside with no pants on. You're going to get frostbite on your frank and beans. Unless you really are trying to get that 100% disability.

Morning folks!

I don't even like using spray paint.

I've had very good luck with Duracoat. In some cases, it performed better than Cerakote. The Cerakote that did not hold up well was on a Sig 1911 and factory done. You have to prep a frame well for Duracoat but once done, it's as good as Cerakote. All that said, I don't know if it's any easier to apply than Cerakote, so there may be no real benefit to it over Cerakote.

 

[MindfulMan]

I'm alive and kickin' ! Good morning.

 

[gmcttr]

Good morning all.

 

[drillsgt]

I know, I can't believe I'm even considering it either.

I already have a sandblasting cabinet. But I'll need different media for doing cerakote.

What kind of media do you have now?
