Cerakote Air Dry Vs Oven Cure

Cerakote comes in two basic forms air dry and heat cure.

Cerakote air dry vs oven cure.

I was very interested in learning how to apply air dry to a fiberglass stock that was already bedded and not a good candidate for the oven and spraying optics. It requires an oven for curing the parts. Finished goods may be shipped after 24 hours when the coating is partially cured. Parts will be partially cured after 24 hours and fully cured 5 days after application.

We care about any headers here we can show to you how we applied cerakote and another colors. Parts will be tack free after approximately 35 minutes. You ll also need a paint gun and air compressor to apply the coating. Cerakote can also ruin a gun if you don t know what you.

Now with that said to address the part about prep. Day two started with continued hands on in the booth as well as some new skill sets. This does raise the requirements significantly. Cerakote is the world leader in thin film ceramic coating technology.

Apply with your airbrush or hvlp touch up gun for a smooth finish. Hardener and paint chemically bond into an ultra thin coating that adheres to almost any surface for a clean professional finish. I ve used it on knives in my shop and then used those knives after full cure to create holes in acetone cans to dry them out and the cerakote didn t really wear until i had been doing it for about 4 months on cans boxes paper etc. That being said there are some cerakote finishes that no longer require an oven but they do require 5 days to fully cure.
