That is sweet. Some questions though... Is it going into the mower in the background?...sorry I couldn't resist. What is the bottle made of? what were the curing parameters? How much pressure does it hold? I've never coated a cylinder, but was told that aluminum cylinders shouldn't be cured at high temps for long periods of time. Actually I was told to cure them using IR heaters to avoid damaging the integrity of the aluminum. I was under the impression that the alloy they were made from was pretty hearty but found out later that most manufacturers recommend no higher than 285f for no longer than 20 mins. Is my info incorrect?
