First of all...... welcome to the board,AC. I hope you have a good time as the rest of us do and consider this place as part of your coating "family" if you will. Congrats on your newly chosen hobby
Need some sandblasting stuff, huh? (makes the Emeril motion) BAM! :

did ya try that one out yet? lol. You might be in the area of pressure pots (PT100 or CY1200 maybe?) and a blast room for motorcycle frames and such. Lots have done exactly that on here with great success. I have no doubt you'll have the same amount of luck. (side note. years ago I sent a frame out to be blasted and it cost maybe 60 bucks. I bought a pressure pot and built a room quickly after that because within the space of a few frames, the unit basically paid for itself. Not to mention.... people come out of the woodwork if they know you have a sandblaster that big for some reason. You can also pick up a few extra side-jobs by blasting things. When they come in for the blast.... kindly remind them that you also refinish and you're locked into getting all of the work in most cases
old metal lawn furniture is a HUGE business that this is beneficial to).
Outgassing.... hmmm. I can't say as I feel you're going to have a major problem with it with the IR system. You're not asking for trouble at all. IR heats but heats a different "way" if you will. The temperature curve has a bigger slope, if you will. Keep the part (or substrate as I always say) at the "farther away" distance of things so to speak, and I don't foresee any problems with it at all. (further away means lower heat and a slower "heat up" curve). For comments on IR, you might want to check out this thread :
http://www.caswellplating.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=1497 . We touched on the whole IR process there for a while and I think we gained some good ground. Be sure to look at a lot of threads here first and if you have any questions.... don't hesitate to ask,k? Good luck with it all and again...... welcome to the "family". Stop back and read/post often!..... Russ
