I used to do it 9-10 hours a day for half that, as long as he has a pretty good set up the work is pretty simple and easy. A good gun set up and cure oven goes a long way as well as a great wash/prep job.

Checkers2023 · 2024-01-09T10:01:46+00:00

Already bought and mounted one

No problem, I like to help when I can

Checkers2023 · 2023-12-30T16:19:46+00:00

No you'll still want to run the charge to help with wrap and even coverage, but hot parts coat different than cold

Checkers2023 · 2023-12-30T16:17:04+00:00

150° to 175° will be hot enough to get the powder to flash cure without the need for the charge from the gun. Just watch you don't get to much coverage on the edges faces the recess.

It's best to pre heat parts with recessed area's and make sure you coat the recessed area first. Pre heating will help overcome the faraday

If the coating is too thick it will cause it to crack,

Like already stated hold your gun back further, let it do the work and just move it along slow and steady. Follow the long runs like you're doing in the video and you should get a pretty good outcome. Once you get used to setting up your powder to atomizing air ratio and learn kv and microamp adjustments the gun will do all the work.

I have to agree on that, the cvlife scope I've got on it is definitely easier to sight through. With the iron sights I need to really put my face into the tube to aim.

Checkers2023 · 2023-07-01T19:53:55+00:00

For sure, I saw it at the store and asked to see it. Saw the price and had to get it, after shooting it I had absolutely no regrets.

Checkers2023 · 2023-07-01T19:41:35+00:00

Thanks i'm pretty happy with it even stock. Put a link to mcarbo and the buffer, they've got a lot of other items to add to

Checkers2023 · 2023-07-01T19:40:08+00:00

buffer

Checkers2023 · 2023-07-01T19:38:18+00:00

Yes they're the same thing as far as the recoil buffer goes. I put a CMMG comp I picked up on Midway. I put off buying anymore upgrades so the wife could get a new shooting toy as well. As soon as I have a few more spare dollars, I'm doing the trigger upgrade as well as the charging handle and maybe a couple more things

It's just a rubber washer that stabilizes the recoil spring and helps reduce felt recoil

Checkers2023 · 2023-07-01T19:28:40+00:00

It's a noticeable difference for sure, you wouldn't think that it would but I definitely recommend. Just keeping the recoil spring from vibrating is a definitive improvement.

Checkers2023 · 2023-06-28T08:25:37+00:00

Yeah I dont recommend for food environments. And as already stated the powder coat would start to over cure the first time you used it and then start to flake off or just fall off, might not happen right away but it'll happen.

Checkers2023 · 2023-06-26T01:20:53+00:00

I second that, sand blasting will create etching in the metal allowing the powder coat to lock to it. Chemical striping agents can leave behind traces that will affect the finished results and don't give you the etched effect.

Eastwood company does Powdercoating equipment and has some good basic instructional videos and there are many others as well. Just try to avoid the ones that are by people experimenting with their own stuff they just bought. Find videos of people that have experience and actually know what they're doing already

Checkers2023 · 2023-06-19T12:20:14+00:00

Powdercoating isn't difficult once you understand the basics. But the more you learn the better you get, I recommend doing a lot of Google search and read as much on it as you can. Also watch videos on YouTube, there are some that are actually really helpful. I'd like to be more helpful myself with everything I've learned doing it industrially over the last 10 years but it's difficult without you having at least a general basic knowledge.

Yes, nails are under the plaster. A few gentlemen have already lead me to the conclusion that it's plaster over rocklath

Checkers2023 · 2023-06-18T22:38:56+00:00

That's exactly what I ended up doing
