yeah I think I read what you just said about 50 times before posting my issue
Outgassing is the very last prep step I take before powder coating. I know there's a debate on blasting and outgassing but I tend to believe outgassing should be the final step. Of course, it is always a possibility I'm wrong
Should I be doing something different? Basically it's like this: clean/degrease, heat to 150 degrees, then blast (I find blasting works a bit better when the substrate is at an elevated temp), then outgass, then coat. Let me know what you think about that. Feel free to flame me. hahahaha. Thanks!
