I would like to see your other oven, I was thinking of using an old swing set and covering it with sheet metal and using a couple of bayou burners for a heat source as I have a brush guard and a pair of rock sliders I want to powder coat. I definitely agree that you're not pushing enough pressure through your gun and that the powder should be drawn in from a greater distance but great video. I think I am gonna buy a kit. Thanks
Did any of that ever come true for you. I was literally looking at doing the same
Another vote to see your oven 🙋
I'm a powder coat painter with over a decade of experience in a paint booth. Had to jump in here I personally don't have experience with hf's gun but your air is to low. That is know as a cone tip and the powder should be spraying in a circle patern not coming out the side. The powder is not getting property fluidized that's one reason why you are having to hold the gun so close. The distance between the part and the gun should never be closer than about 10 inches. Any closer and you will start blowing the powder off. Second reason why it's acting like that is the ground. It's not grounding very well and not aplying enough charge to help the power stick.
Thank you very much for the fantastic tips! Trying to make the most of this basic set up and I know that these will help me the next time I take it out. Thank you very much!
@@9142PropsandArmory hope my experiences helped ya out. Once that system gets dialed in it I see no reason why it wont work great for diy'ers. One more quick thing, curing the paint. Every powder acts a Lil different in curing and it's very easy to over cure and burn the paint. Most powders are happiest between 375 and 400 degrees for 15 to 20 mins. P.s. after ya clean your parts before painting wear gloves. There is a lot of oil in our skins and touching a clean part with Bair hands runs the risk of the oil beading throu. I have seen more than my share of parts come out of the cure oven with a finger or hand print beading throu. Happy painting
Thank you again for some more great pointers. Helps us noobs get the most out of these for sure!
And he is doing it with the wind. 🤷♂️
I have a question and would appreciate it 💪🏼 could you touch up something that’s been scratched by prepping the area and powdering over it and using a heat gun to spot bake it on the spot? Thanks again 🙏🏼
Miss you buddy . Come back.. how is r2 and bb-8. Sorry and your son . Hope everything is good GoD bless
Please show us the other oven brother!!
When using this does the powder lay flat or is it textured?
When baked it's self leveling.
I would love to see you larger oven
Great! Let's see if we have some more interest in it. Thanks for letting me know and for watching.
I’m in r2 building clue I want power medal r2.
This would be a great setup to finish your Aluminum R2! Won't work so well for my 3d printed one though.
😂 I know. Doing medal r2 d2. 3d print working on r5-d4
That's awesome! I had to say something before someone asked though.
I would need a larger oven for sure!
Yeah, it's most definitely a necessity! I'm working on one. Need one large enough to do rims for sure!
@@9142PropsandArmory So what was your solution for large oven? I'm not going to use the on in my house. :P
I'll do a follow-up eventually on my current one and covering the larger one I'm currently planning.

You can do rims in a normal house oven. Of course don't use one that you cook in. But you can find old cheap ovens on Facebook marketplace.
What happend to your r2d2 series?
I'll get back to it....I'm at the stage where I'm ready to start finishing it. Waiting on warmer weather. I do have a video that I filmed as an update. Need to edit...and a few more hours in the day.
@@9142PropsandArmory good to hear mate. I've just printed the dome on mine still a long road ahead
You alright man? No posts in so long
Thanks for the wellness check! Yup, I'm doing well. Had a career change a few months ago that will be much more conducive to creating stuff. I'll be back to it soon.
@@9142PropsandArmory he lives! Good Glad to hear it!
