Powder Coating Essentials

 

The powder coating oven is used to cure the powder coating, which involves heating it to a specific temperature to melt the powder and form a durable coating. Denatured alcohol is used to clean the piece before applying the powder coating. The sandpaper is used to smooth out any rough edges on the jewelry, and a mask is  essential for protecting your lungs from the powder coating powder. Finally, you'll need to choose your desired powder coating.
