Ok so i tried this method today and still can not figure out where i am going wrong. Could you guys give me some temp and time recommendations? I attempted this on a cast aluminum nissan valve cover, approxiamtely 22 inches long, 8 inches wide and 3 inches tall with a weight of about 10-15lbs. I outgassed it for 20 minutes at 450 degrees, cooled it down, than powder coated it, than cured for 20 minutes at 375 and still got outgas pretty heavily. I am using TGIC powders and blasting with alum oxide/glass bead mix, followed by a pretreatment solution, than outgas, powder coat and finally cure. Any suggestions on how long i should out gas at waht temp and what temp should i cure at for how long? I havnt purchased a infrared temp gun but will most likely shortly. Thanks in advance for the expertise.
