Since I am Doing Magnesium parts I out gassed them at 500 for an hour and the stuff still held and did not change or even discolor. I even pre baked them twice, discovering that with Valve covers, you need to really clean them inside really really good. Did I mention that you need to clean Valve covers real well as the Oil makes a terrible bit of smoke and smells bad too!

I will be coating them this week so I will post pic's of the results for all to see.
