Anyone tried

Eletrostatic magic

Saw it at the normous newark autojumble today and looked rather interesting as I'm refurbing loads of bits in my engine bay at the moment....

Will.

Wonder what the Smells like when it's 'Baking'    ???

Wonder what me oven chips would taste like after some Wishbones had been cooking   :oops:    :suspect:

We had quite alot of Fume Extraction on the Powdercoating plant at the place i used to work at

I'd Like to see it in Action

Quote from their website

"you can use an old domestic type oven found fairly low cost in local papers or on internet auction sites, note do not use the oven for cooking food in afterwards! as the curing vapours are mildly toxic."

£109 for the system , click on buy .

one of the many things id like including a CNC plasma cutter , lathe etc

im sure for larger parts you could build a larger insulated box and heat to the required temperature .

I just chucked a calor gas oven into the skip   :arse:

It would have been ideal, I was trying to think of a good reason why I should keep it , was taking up space  in the garage  :t-up:  :durr:  :t-up:

Powder coating at home...now thats the funniest thing I've heard in a while!! I can imagine your wives  agreeing to that. Whilst back here on earth we'd just take items to a powder coater...then your house would be free of the smell, the gas bills wouldn't increase,there wouldn't be shot blast media,the coating powder all over the place and your food woudn't taste like a paint shop. Go on lads have ago, you'll soon discover why people just take it to a guy who knows what he's doing & with professional equipment! why not build your own spray booth and baking oven and start your own spraying as well!  :D  :D  :D

This why I love this club its always fun!!

Buzz, all of what you say is true if you were doing it in your kitchen!!!

Thankfully I have a detached garage so can avoid said problems.

Swmbo is already used to petrol smell etc so burnt paint etc can't be too far removed!!

I've got about 15 individual items I currently need to either spray or ideally powdercoat so would be very handy.

I am concerned about the potential mess though.

Got to be worth a punt at 100 notes :)
