I have an old household oven I bought that I am going to use starting out, but your hole youi use as aa view window gave me an idea, when I build my larger oven.. I am going to take the glass door off an oven and some oven lights so I can see directly inside.
Thanks for the kind words! I would say go for it. We started doing all of this really not knowing the right and the wrongs until we started practicing. So get a nice starter gun and try it out! Eastwood makes a cheap gun setup and it’s perfect for beginners that are just starting out!
It all depends on what you are powder coating. Usually we like to use the welding wire as a "hook". We try to make the hook larger so it doesn't cover the outside where it needs to be coated. We like to place a hook where we know a bolt or a washer will be going in that place just incase it needs to be covered up. If you have a bolt hole, you could throw a bolt in and use two nuts to clamp the welding wire in that as well. Just make sure you put some high temp tape or Teflon tape on both sides of the bolt shaft so you bolt doesn't get powder coated and gets stuck in the part. We are in the making of creating a Q&A video on everyone's comments on the powder coat oven and the how to coat video. I would say in the next month or so that video will be out! Thanks for the comment and thanks for checking out the video.
Nice work! Pretty much exactly how I started out as well. If you plan on powder coating often consider a simple booth. Your nice and clean shop will soon be covered with powder like mine lol
Thanks for the comment and checking out the video! But, its funny you say that because if we are working with a bright color you can see it everywhere like a dust covering lol That's why usually we tarp over things that we don't want to get dusted. Maybe we need to create a area with drop tarp walls with sliders where we can enclose our selves in it! That sounds like a fun DIY build haha
@@alwayssomethinggarage794 I know the feeling! lol clears are the worst because of how light they are. I started with a 3 sided small budget booth made of pvc and clear wrap but that wasn’t much fun moving around it was pretty flimsy. Even a simple booth with box fans and furnace filters would be sufficient for the amount of powder coming out of the Eastwood unit.
Excellent video and a very thorough explanation, 2nd great video of yours I've watched today I have subscribed to you guys.😁 So here's a question for you guys: I'm a metal polisher of almost 30 years in the UK btw, old alloy/aluminium parts can sweat a lot after polishing (friction = heat causes the sweating), so how do you deal with older contaminated castings in particular sweating during the curing process? Or do you preheat and cool off before powder coating to prevent gassing out?
Thanks for checking out the video! The biggest thing we have to deal with parts getting corroded after getting sand blasted. We try to sand blast our parts as close as the date we want to powder coat so it would limit the chance of corrosion. But, with living in Maryland there is a lot of humidity. I know we make sure before we start the powder coat process we visually check to make everything is clean and no corrosion and then right before we coat we acetone every surface. I know for when we do bike frames we do like to put the frame into the oven for a short period to burn junk off of the frame and to heat up the metal for the powder to stick easier to the tight corners.
@@alwayssomethinggarage794 Thanks for the reply, makes sense to get the freshly blasted parts coated asap especially in a humid environment. I have just seen a video by Bullseye powder coating and they said they acid etch prime corroded aluminium before powder coating to prevent the nasties locked inside the metal peeling up the powder coat from underneath. I'd imagine they cook it first to let most of the gasses out then acid etch as a precaution to stabilize it. If your interested he mentions it at about 25m in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DrymfUjgHpQ/v-deo.html
@@0shiny1 We will check out the video! Thanks for the info. It's not the best to be powder coating in a building that is not insulated. But, we try to do our best and I think it's pretty darn good for home powder coating. Definitely saves some good money! Thanks again for the comments and checking out the videos!
@@alwayssomethinggarage794 No thank you guys for making your videos they provide us all with great ideas that even us older blokes can learn a lot from, keep up the great work.👍
#AlwaysSomethingGarage also can u a durability test like chemicals oils gasoline and hitting it with a hammer see if i would chip off how would it hold. like small powder coat parts for test pieces. that would be a cool video i have never seen anything like this.

This video and the one of the oven build is great! I mean this will actually change my life for the better. Thank you
Brilliant couple videos you guys put together, very thorough and answered most questions that arose. Makes me wanna take this adventure on..

Such a great idea with the trolley love this vid
great video. question, how do you get the powder in the area where the wire hook is touching/hanging the part?

Great vid guys. This will be or should be my next step is what I’m thinking.
Thank you very informative and easy to understand. Good job!
Nice work! For some time I thought power coat could work on a mower deck thoughts?

What kind of spraying tip did you get off of ebay? Looks like its spraying great!
Awesome stuff guys. That engine stand is superb ! Great work.
Good job thank you for sharing
Awesome video!
Nice work
awesome, loved the video
Luv the engine frame!
Would you have plans for the oven and engine stand?
Absolutely! Go check out our DIY on the engine stand and the oven! If you have anymore questions just holler! Thanks for checking out the video.
you should check prepreg carbon fiber. since you already have the oven, you could probably make parts with prepreg.
Where did you get the diverter tip? I know you said Ebay, but what was the name of seller? Thanks.
I would like to know the dimensions of the sandblaster. Have to alter mine for larger parts. Thanks
Do you let the items cool in the oven, or do you take them out as soon as the bake time is up?
I gor rims that are black with a chrome lip i want them red with a chrome lip can it be done will the oven mess up the chrome?
Can you fit a yfz450r frame in that oven?
Absolutely! The oven was originally only built for ATV frames. So it is the perfect length for the frames. Thanks for checking out the video!
Does the oven needed to be pre heated?
#AlwaysSomethingGarage also can u a durability test like chemicals oils gasoline and hitting it with a hammer see if i would chip off how would it hold. like small powder coat parts for test pieces. that would be a cool video i have never seen anything like this.
do you have a components list for the control box
for your oven
@@jodymcconechy9165 Yes I do, Email us at alwayssomethinggarage@gmail.com. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@jodymcconechy9165 I also put the parts list underneath the description on the powder coat oven video. Thanks.
Genious
What psi do you use for the gun
We use low PSI. Try a bunch of tests on the gun and find the best PSI that works for your gun. I believe we are around 5-10 pounds.
#AlwaysSomethingGarage Something Garage do you know how may 240v Amps does is draw ? i would like to know that sir thanks.
He said the elements are 3,300 Watts so at 240V they would draw 13.75 Amps each. The whole rig would draw around 42 amps.
What's the reason you didn't cook black pieces and red piece together 🤔
Where do u get the powder
So is the silicon tape used to cover things such as threads? or something that you don’t want Powder Coated?
Yes it should be heat resistant too
Should cover all threads for sure or openings that shouldn’t change in size.
Hi guys check out part powder coating p.p.c
Absolutely, will do! Thanks for checking out the video.
