    Salvaged PC Powder

    Per the thread title, I responded and after a long wait, received a box of powder. I had forgotten all about it until the box showed up at the house. I had forgotten who made the offer and after a little searching, thought I had identified the person. Guessing that it was someone on this forum, I also guessed his ID. Must have been wrong since PM's were not acknowledged.

    Does anyone remember this? At the very least I would like to reimburse the sender for the shipping cost.

    Also, since I am trying to get started powder coating, does anyone have experience with this powder? Any tips that aren't covered in other threads in this section?

    This is the best write up I know of. The only unknown is cure temp/time, but, most powders will do at 400F for 20min.

    I use a convection oven and start my bullets at 450, once I see full flow out I turn it down to 400 for 20 minutes.

    400f max. 20 minutes in cheap toaster oven. I'd try a few and make sure the stuff will still work. I've a bunch of colors I was using to PC stainless steel cup about 5 years ago that still flows and stick fine.

    If it was on here check your profile by picking your avatar in the upper right corner of the screen and look under recent posts you made or in you PMs sent. You should find who you responded to in those lists somewhere.
