Pictures of process and equipment

[non-stick]

Sometimes a picture is worth 1,000 words. Quite often we come across the old " how did you do that" type of scenario. This is where you can post your photo's of techniques, solutions to equipment woes and the like. Of course.... discuss the results and such within the threads to be nice to the dial-up users, please. *JUST* the pictures and maybe a short description of what we're looking at would be more than helpful. If you have pictures of your finished parts using Caswell products, the Album is always looked at by all here.

Just so we can generate some ideas for this thread... these are things (but not limited to only these ideas) that would be helpful here.....

Coating technique (standard and "fade" pictures before cure)
Racking solutions (how do you hang a part for coating or place it in the oven for curing?)
Blasting room solutions ( care to show off your abilities on how to build a blasting solution?)
Coating booth solutions ( what does yours look like and what did you make it out of? )
Compressor issues ( did you install one with an aftercooler or figure out some neat way to keep that air dry?)
Oven issues ( did you build one on your own and care to share the results? Maybe you even have a killer IR set-up and would like to show how it's used correctly while in process?)

Again.... just the pictures only, people. All discussions to be held about photo's in the threads as it gets kinda tough for the dial-up people to keep searching through everything,k? Thanks!

NOBODY wants to submit pictures in this thread of thier coating booths or set-ups? Tell me yes or no and I'll eaither whack the thread to clean up around here or keep it if you guys want. Just thought it would be useful is all..... Russ

NO don't whack it!!! I'm waiting to see what everyone has. So i can figure out how i should setup my stuff. I really would like to build an oven, but all the big stuff has to be put on hold for now . Buying a house right now! Non-stick is right though a picture is worth a thousand words.

Will this work? I thought you needed a high temp powder for the headers.

[red99ls1ta]

you do... thats a cracked dsm turbo manifold. i got bored and wanted to do something. no one will ever use that part.

[non-stick]

ummmm... good work on the coatings, but this thread was more of a "what does your coating booth look like" and "what does it look like when you are coating your widget" type of stuff. I like your results, though. Anybody else have anything of what I'm looking for?

Mailbox being baked in out General Motors oven, circa 1970. It is already coated with Black Chrome and this picture is during its second baking with High Gloss Clear. Kind of funny how the clear actually sprays white and then turns transparent. :P
