Powder cure time

[Dirtmotor]

Is the powder fully cured when you pull it out of the oven ? Or does it need additional cure time ?

[acourtjester]

It is cured when it cools down, fresh out of the over it is still soft and can be marked or scraped off

I mostly leve my parts in the oven to cool
They are soft till they cool and get damaged if you drop them

As most of my coating is industrial part that I make in batches it rear that Im doing a send batch at the same time
So letting them cool overnight is the best answer for me

I was also told thatletting them cool slower produces a tougher finish hoever I have never tested that

Never thought of a slow cool off making for a tougher finish. Makes sense and i will give it a try. I take my stuff out right away but im also that guy that cant wait till paint dries to peel off the masking tape
