1) Hanging pieces in a kitchen-type oven. Do you build in little bars to suspend your hooks from (like I see in home-built models)? When I try to google “powder coat racks”, I get millions – I guess because so many racks are already PC'd 
2) Should I ground to the part, or to the hanging wire?
3) What would happen if you clearcoated over gold plate? Would it get more glossy or ...? I'd love to use the plug-in-plate kit to highlight some small stuff and coat it for protection against tarnishing, etc.
4) Spray booth. In reading some of the older messages, I kinda get the impression that a booth is a requirement. Is it just to keep mess down, dust out, and possibly reclaiming powder? I have a dedicated shop, and I mess it up every time I walk in it And controlling dust shouldn't be a problem...
5) Anybody know where to get some "chunks" of hi-temp silicon? I have a lathe, so I could turn odd size plugs. Plus I have an asst. of dremel type rotary tools and die-grinders. The first thing I want to coat has a large beveled hole that needs to remain pristine to seat an o-ring. When I lived in another state, I was fortunate to have a good plastics supplier that fixed me up with all kinds of great scraps...
6) I've read most of the oven threads, but am curious if I could build a 2-element style to run off a single 50 amp circuit. I've been scouting around locally for an old oven for the past week or so, and can't find anything less than $100. For that much, I think I'd rather start planning for something just a little bigger than your standard kitchen oven. I found a toaster oven that will let me get started testing. Needless to say, I'm not an electrician but I can follow other's plans.
7) And for something completely unrelated. I can't see any album stuff, nor certain images – such as “actual parts” links for the color swatches. Does it still exist? I don’t have any problems with other sites. Just curious if it’s still active – I’m guessing I have some kind of browser configuration issue ( and I’ll resolve it sooner or later).
This forum is great, thanks to the generous support of all the contributors. It is the main reason I’m ordering all my stuff from Caswell as opposed to the baddies at HF and E… Hopefully I can order today!
Oh yeah, Happy New Years and thanks in advance for any advice!
