I have been reading all of the powder coating threads for a while and one of the things that I noticed, was that it seems that the process is becoming fairly well refined as to what works and what does not work. This of course starts generating the "I am the expert, and you have to do it my way" responses.
Just to make sure that I don't dig too deep of a hole, let me say that I think that the "experts" have probably earned the right to be called experts by putting in a lot of time experimenting to determine what does work. I just sometimes get a little frustrated with the way some of the "expert" answers are phrased.
Well, last Sunday I decided that I needed to try this powder coating out. I ordered three pounds of powder from Prismatic, I had a toaster oven That I could use (I remembered not to use the house oven, because if you do the world spins backwards and we all fall off), I went out to get some airsoft BB's (they have to be black ones....just because), some number five bowls, a hemostat (sorry I have sinned here, I am using a 8 inch long medical tweezers with a bent end), and some non stick foil (shinny side down). Today I had all of the required supplies and was able to powder coat my first Boolits.......... I just wanted to say thanks to all of you that have pioneered this process, and to tell you that even if I think the answers could have been worded a little better, they are absolutely correct.
Oh ya.....here is my first attempt, I am very happy with how they turned out, and how easy the process is if you follow the experts advice!!
Thank you
