alex.s · October 2nd, 2011, 10:04 PM

i guess this isn't exactly off topic... oh well

Cuongism · October 2nd, 2011, 10:36 PM

So...when can I drop off my wheels?

alex.s · October 2nd, 2011, 10:48 PM

get the tires taken off first... maybe next weekend? or the weekend after

What are you using to cure your stuff?

alex.s · October 3rd, 2011, 01:13 PM

building my own oven. there are more than a few free plans for larger commercial sized ovens... i'm using a smaller cheaper design for now then i'm going to upgrade to a bigger one later when i want to powder coat my frames. it basically is an insulated container with a hot plate and a temperature control with places to hang from on the top

CThunder-blue · October 3rd, 2011, 01:20 PM

Yeah, I want to build my own, but most plans call for 220v source. I suppose I'll have to get an electrician to come and get that taken care of eventually.

alex.s · October 3rd, 2011, 02:45 PM

its cheaper (and easier IMO) to strip a heating element and temperature control from separate items like a hot plate and an AC control, then simply use the container from the plans... just make sure the temp control can handle the power requirements for the heating element. i've even seen a few cheap ovens that are basically a box with two industrial heat guns pointing in connected to a heat control unit

btw what kind of powder do you use? a friend of mine who does powder coating mentioned the harbor frieght powder blows

CThunder-blue · October 3rd, 2011, 02:55 PM

Yeah, I've never used the powders from HF. Just about any commercial powder supplier is good. Just depends on what color you're going for.

Here's a few I've used:

WOW!!! This definitely makes things interesting!!! I also need to get you your stands back... they were very useful and I definitely need to get myself a set!!!

alex.s · October 3rd, 2011, 05:53 PM

dustin, i think kawi-green or white powder coated triples, rearsets and clipons are in order... oh and white wheels... would look great on a green white black bike

Cazper · October 3rd, 2011, 09:29 PM
