I've got a shop already setup for painting, I've got a blast cabinet as well, so I figure really, I'm only an oven away from being able to start working with and practicing Cerakoting. I've also wanted to start using this for other household items as well as small car parts when I'm working on a project...
My idea was with using an electric or propane type upright smoker. Most of the electric ones that I've found sit in the 30" range, but a few of the propane versions are 36" tall, at first glance, this should be perfectly sufficient for the vast majority of what I'll come across I'd imagine (firearm related anyways), and getting up to the 250-300 range shouldn't be an issue, but my apprehension was with using propane as the source of heat. Propane gives of moisture when it burns... the paint will already be applied and flash cured however before it hits the oven, so I'm not sure how much effect, if any the propane version would have on the parts as they bake?
Was wanting to pick some of you folks' brains who maybe have more experience with this than myself.
Thanks!
