problems with spyder webing
hey i just now found out about caswell plating company. i have been using eastwood co. about a year. i cant get any help from them about powder coating. i think if a company is going to sell a product they need to know a little about it.i will be getting my suppies from coswell from now on. i like the forum page. maybe someone can help me with a problem i am having. i coated some fenders, with a base coat of almost chrome. then topcoated with anidize red. then a 80% clear coat. they looked real good when i took out of the oven. but about a week later i went into the shop and the fenders had spyder webbed on one side. you can see them but it is under the clear. o, i forgot i put an prizm additive in it to at 40 to 1 ratio. i preheated the oven to 425 deg. put the fenders in. then when it flowed out i cooled to 375 deg. for 15 mins. the clear i cured at 350 deg. for 15 mins. the only think i can figure is that the tops of the fenders was to close to the heating element. it was about 2 inchs away. i have had this problem before on some racing kart engine covers. please help me find out what i did wrong i cant afford to redo all these parts.
