Yep. Bought a new one from B&Q for £100 https://www.diy.com/departments/cook...1769308_BQ.prd (had £10 voucher) and it works great.
I set it to about 150 and the parts warm up to 180-200c.
Trying to find the sweet spot tomorrow.
Might be ordering the powder directly from the manufacture and 20KG is minimum order quantity... Anyone want some? xD
Can only think of around 10 items I want to powder coat and 5 of them are my van wheels :pLast edited by JOGARA; 01-05-2018 at 08:21 PM.

So after 18 cases + a few test parts I have used the whole 1/2 KG bag with the following remaining;
The bottle on the left is the fresh powder that I have left to use the one of the right is 90% of the powder that did not stick.
There was quite a layer at the bottom of my professional spray booth (which is definitely not the oven box on its side..)
Did have a couple odd spots on some of the early attempts. Not sure what went wrong here. Only happened on a few faces. Looks like it could be gas escaping from the part or clumps from storage, but only happens on certain faces of the part...?
PS, buy a face mask. I forgot till after I was spraying all day and I can feel it.
Probably wont do that much damage compared to the crap we use to thrown on the bonfire when I was a kid...Last edited by JOGARA; 02-05-2018 at 06:26 PM.
