Default Craftsman Powdercoater

Anyone use this yet? It looks like a pretty neat setup for powdercoating valvecovers or intakes. Or if you have a big enough over blocks and such. I'm pretty interested in this. How bad is it if u use ur normal oven for it? I was thinkin of powdercoating my intake and valve covers then throwing it in my household oven. Then once they were done just turn the oven onto its "cleaning" mode to make sure everythings good.

Here's the think to anyone that doesnt know what it is.

That looks pretty cool, I've never seen anything like that. I'd be interested if anyone has tried this too.

Don't use it in your household oven, only use them in an old oven.

So has anyone seen one in action? (motor oil adds a very nice flavor to fried chicken by the way )

If you use it in your house oven be prepared to stay at a buddies for the night. It will smoke and smell something fierce.

I have a powder coating oven from Harbor freight. It is about 24" X 24" inside. Think I paid $299.00 last year. Great for ceramic coating also. Can go to about 700f. Got the powder coater from caswell plating. http://www.caswellplating.com/
I have a home chrome and anodizing shop all from them. Check it out.

I have the unit from Eastwood too, it works well. Yes, stay out of the house with this stuff! It stinks! I had the guy down at the used appliance store keep his eye out for a good used electric stove. He finally got one that looked like it never had anything in the oven...very clean! I took the top burners off and now it is my "powdercoat oven"......for $25.

DO NOT PUT THAT IN A OVEN THAT YOU WILL LATER COOK IN
the chemicals used in powder coating is poison and will kill you it does not come out of the oven go to a thrift store and buy a old one and put it in your garage for that use they are cheap that way to.
