Under metal finishing
The first few times i used it it worked great. Now it seems to dump out powder. I have tried lowering the air to almost nothing and still have the problem. It sticks perfectly fine but i have so much powder coming out that it ends up to thick. Any ideas? SHould i push the conical nozle tight to the end? i have the added nozle for second coats and have the same problem. Any ideas would be great.

I posted this photograph here almost two years ago:

and said I was going to make a polisher out of it. Well, at last:

I found a two horse motor on Craigs List. I re-poured the bearings and it does great. Ten inch wheels turn at 2500 rpm.

After the great results of switching to TI racks, I think the last real bug to iron out of my process is alloy-based.
I buy my AL sheet, plate, rod etc from scrapyards, which don’t discriminate between alloys. But they all have the backing on them still.
Which are the best alloys for ano (form best coating, take dye best) and how can you identify them? The protective plastic is always a different color and opacity so I figure that might be a clue? – color coded plastic?
Thanks!

I am new here. Just found the site last week. I have been studying the PC business. I am thinking about building one off motorcycle racks and mounts.
I’m thinking about taking the parts out of a large free standing oven (cook stove) and using them in a new box (same cubic feet just a different shape).
The reason for the new box would be hanging space. I would need a tall but narrower oven for the kind of parts I am planning on building. I was thing about 16"-18" wide X 14" deep and 30" tall
Would the parts out of the large oven be enough to cure the powder?
The oven was on a 50 amp breaker.
I haven’t got the stove yet. I do have a couple of old large toaster evens that might also work. I need to do this on a very low budget!!
Any advice would be great and helpful
Thanks
