My first attempt at powder coating was a complete failure.
If it had been a graded school project the teacher would have been charitable to give me an F on the project.
I've watched a bunch of videos, and read dozens of pages here. I thought I could do it blind folded. WRONG!!!
I am using powder from Prismatic Powder. It wasn't the powder.
I pre heated the boolits in the oven. (first mistake) I got them too hot and I instantly had a gooey mess when I dumped them in the powder. This mess then turned into a hard blob within a second or two. When trying to shake the hard blob in the plastic tub the side broke out of the tub. Hard blob hits the floor and only a couple boolits brake loose. The rest I had to brake apart by hand. I then placed them on "non stick" foil. (Second mistake) I then baked them 20 minutes and had a mess completely stuck to the "non stick" foil. I'd hate to see what regular foil would do. The only positive with this batch is they pass the hammer test. I'd post photos but they would end up in the hall of shame, and I'd be banned from Cast Boolits.
My second attempt would have earned me a solid B. I heated the boolits on top of the oven till they were no longer cold. Probably in the mid 70's range. I got a even power coat that baked to a glossy shine. It's not completely even, but I think they would shoot nicely.
I only did a hand full each batch, so I'm not out too much other than time.
