How to Use Gas to Powder Coat

Powder coating is a type of paint job. You spray a paint that is in the form of powder onto the object, and then bake it in an oven. The heat of the oven melts and cures the powder to seal it to the object. You should never use your home oven because once a powder coated object bakes in the oven, the oven is no longer safe for food items. Whether you choose to use an electric oven or a gas oven, both can cure the powder-coated object.
