I purchased a kit from HF just to get started and I have all the other needed things. I have been experimenting with 6061-T6 AL. I have blasted and cleaned well with a good solvent and degassed the parts. My problem is no matter how long I bake the powder on the item, it never seems to have good "pencil hardness" or be very chip resistant and durable as it should be but it has a really high gloss and great look. Is this just the nature of the powder that I am using. I am assuming that it is polyester or polyeurathane. I got the powder from HF, is it just a lower grade of powder. Sorry for being so longwinded. HELP
