Hello everyone rookie here just getting started in the powder coating world looking for wisdom, I started looking around at ovens for sale and realized that building my own was the best way to go. I went around 2day priceing the metal I needed the studs 20 ga 2x4x8 are $5 each 20 ga gal. sheet so far is $57 a sheet. The oven size is O.D. 4W x 8T x 4D (the size of a sheet so to limit my waste) Im still decideing on to use gas or elect. Gas would need to be picked up, where I have access to the elect. Im needing to know from all of you wise men which is the most cost efective route. As far as elect. goes how much does it cost to run an oven, how many elements will I need to heat an oven of that size, Any Info will be appricated
