Re: Cerakote application
your AO will last you a long time.
in terms of the hvlp gun fouling, ive just made it a habit to soak the tip of the gun in laquer thinner over night after every couple sessions. then, blow, rub and pick out the softened Kote.

"Does the bullet let the blasting media by or does it seal off pretty tight?"
yes, i hammer it in until the lands squeege the bullet material back. no point in having it in there unless it totally blocks the bore.

Re: Cerakote application
that soda is too soft. AO/garnett is the way.
that soda machine really has me thinking about converting an old stack-on safe i have sitting around. that would be a much better use for it than keeping guns secure.

Re: Cerakote application
I had my eyes on a stack-on gun safe but they wanted $100 for it. I found the pop machine for $40. Plus it is already insulated. All I had to do was add the non-combustible board to the inside.
The wife's oven just got replaced so I might build a bigger oven for doing other large items. Maybe even some powder coating.

Re: Cerakote application
My uncle is a metal framer and he built me a 2x3x5 steal stud box and put insulatin in between the track and stud. When he brings it up we are going to add the oven parts. In trade I have to ceracoat one of his rifles.

If you want an exterior thermometer just get a thermometer with a long probe. Drill a hole through the double wall the same size as the probe and stick it in.

$386 for the LPH80 </div></div>
I have purchased 2 LPH-80's from ebay'r Lewisonlineshop_airbrush. He will sell for $280 delivered. We started with a 1.2 have since converted that one to a .8 (that switch will cost you $100 for a needle & nozzle) but will save you some paint. Also, the .8 gives you a slight control edge over the 1.2mm - not a big deal on bolt guns but advantageous on Larue tac type cages etc. Iwata's needles last about 50 jobs, then its time for a new one @ $75. I buy them from Coast Airbrush- they stock every part for the Iwata's.
Once William ships out the 2 .260's... we will be coating them.
