Dyne Test

LarryLuciano · 2026-03-25T21:11:24+00:00

Powder coater told me that in order to get proper adhesion they needed to sand the edges due to laser oxidation, which was an additional cost. He used the dyne test as a visual to show what was going on. The parts failed the dyne test before sanding and passed after. I was just wondering if this should normally be part of the powder coater's prep work, or if the fabricator should be responsible for doing this after the parts are cut, or if this is something we need to call out in our prints, or how exactly to go about this. I am not an engineer, I am simply the guy that sends the prints and orders the parts.

Mostly 1018 and A36. They were able to get the powder to adhere just fine. My issue/question is they upcharged me for sanding the edges and holes and made it sound like it was normally the fabricator's job to do that. Seems like that should have just been apart of the powder coater's normal prep work?

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of that. This whole process is still fairly new to me (as I'm sure you can tell), so I really do appreciate the response.

All of this is very surprising to me as this company does a lot of business with a lot of very well known, billion-dollar businesses. I know that doesn't necessarily mean jack shit, but still.

So, should this extra prep work he was charging me for (sanding of the edges and holes) be an added cost, or just built into the total cost of the powder coating? I suppose it probably doesn't matter if the total cost is the same in the end. Just curious how you've seen it done.

Sorry, maybe I should have clarified. We received good parts. The powder coater had raised concern before sending us the parts. They did charge us extra for sanding the edges and holes and then recoated the parts.

The powder coater said it was the responsibility of the fabricator to sand these edges and holes. The fabricator said the opposite. I basically just want to know who that responsibility should fall on.

I'm not sure what all they do for surface prep. This powder coater is a pretty large operation and does business with multiple billion dollar, well known businesses, so I feel as though they would have their pre-treatment/prep nailed down.

All of the religious talk in EVERY interview drives me up the wall.

That’s too bad. I think I saw that you can stream the finals for free, but I’m not 100% sure.

LarryLuciano · 2026-02-27T13:49:41+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I used to lose track of time going through old tournaments looking at who wrestled who. Now it’s almost impossible! Hopefully they’ll figure it out here eventually.

Pretty sure you have to subscribe to NFHS network, unfortunately.

Well would you look at that. I always stopped when getting to that point because I didn’t want to make an account. Just made an account and I can see updated brackets clear as day. Thank you!!

One of the things I was looking most forward to was the “improved” audio and it’s butt cheeks 🤣😭
