Powder Strength
Hey Guys!
I'm new to the forum and to powdercoating as well. I spent the last few hours browsing the forum and I've learned a great deal of some damn fine info. I'm a custom drum builder and until now, I've been sending drum lugs and hoops out to be powdercoated. My question is:
how can I expect powders to hold up under the beating of drum playing, gigging, etc.? I've been told that I should strip the chrome off of the drum parts to get the best adhesion and strength of powder. Is this true? Or would a good sandblasting be good enough? I find that many drummers love candy parts, and I feel candy looks best over chrome...Any help and opinions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks...
